May 2009


Despite my best efforts I need to take a break from Twittering, Blogging, Writing and the like.  Professional and personal matters must be attended.

Back soon.

So, my latest endeavor is to improve my understanding of the mathematical aspect of astronomy.  I have armed myself with the best possible tools, books.  As I started to do my review and learning, it really hit me how little I use advanced mathematics in my day to day life.  Ugh.  I have collected the following books:

  • Astronomical Formulae for Calculators
  • Astrophysics with a PC
  • Astronomical Algorithms
  • Celestial Basic
  • Math for Amateur Astronomers
  • Practical Astronomy with your Calculator

Wish me luck.  I will blog about my experience as I go.  If you know of other good books, please chime in and let me know.  If you are really good at math and would like to help, let me know! :-)
