Title: Excellent Reference for Programmers
Review: I bought this book with high hopes, and was not disappointed. It is clear, precise and very helpful in providing many algorithms and much needed explanations on calculating ephemerides. However, the calculations for the position of the sun was a little infuriating. I wanted a simple algorithm with less accuracy than suggested by Meeus. By extension, Meeus then refers to the user to other works of even greater accuracy for the calculation of the position of the sun. However, this is a minor point. The book is well-done and is valuable extension to the Astronomical Almanac, and Explanatory Supplement.
