Description and Table of Contents
Description
It contains many examples of striking methods of calculation and there is a remarkable coherence to the system which makes it very attrative. This book is a self contained book which shows Vedic mathematics applications in many areas of astronomy including prediction of eclipses, the solution to Kepler's equation, solution of spherical trinagles, prediction of planetary positions. The methods given in this book are not intended to be a complete treatment of the topics they deal with. An attempt also has also been made to make the book as self-contained as possible so that the first chapter inroduces some of the Vedic methods of calculation which are used in the book and the fourth chapter introduces the arithmetic for Pythagorean triplews which is used in the subsequent chapters.
