Calendrical Calculations Millennium edition by Edward M Reingold
This new edition of the successful calendars book is being published in the new millennium and expands the treatment of the previous edition to new calendar variants. Calendrical Calculations makes accurate calendrical algorithms readily available for computer use with LISP and Java code for all the algorithms included on CD, and updates available on the Web. It gives a description of fourteen calendars and how they relate to one another: the present civil calendar (Gregorian), the recent ISO commercial calendar, the old civil calendar (Julian), the Coptic and Ethiopic calendars, the Islamic (Moslem) calendar; the Baha'i, the Hebrew (Jewish) calendar, the Mayan calendars, the French Revolutionary calendar, the Chinese calendar, and both the old (mean) and new (true) Hindu (Indian) calendars. This new edition will be a valuable resource for working programmers, as well as a fount of useful algorithmic tools for computer scientists.
