Negative Positive
Title: Very helpful academically!
Review: As an engineering student who wanted to write an astronomically-based piece of software for his senior project, I found Meeus' book indispensable. His descriptions of various formulae needed some time to wade through; in spite of the learning curve, however, the algorithms were quite useful. This is definitely recommended *only* for the serious analyst who is willing to supplement the text with other authoritative sources. Still, in what this book attempts to accomplish, I have not found its equal.
Is the review positive or negative?
