Practical Astronomy: with your Calculator or Spreadsheet

摘要

If you want to try something different in astronomy then this might be the book for you, as long as you have some knowledge of maths that is. It is intended for those who might want to calculate the positions of the major heavenly bodies and eclipses for themselves, instead of relying on almanacs. This is a book replete with mathematical calculations but the opening pages to the various sections contain material of interest to the lay reader.
