Description
Astronomical Applications of Vedic Mathematics is a Self-contained book which shows Vedic Mathematics' applications in many areas of astronomy including Prediction of Eclipses, the Solution of Kepler's Equation (an important equation in astronomy for finding planetary coordinates), Solution of Spherical Triangles, Prediction of Planetary Positions.
The extraordinary power and versatility of Vedic mathematics leads to new and extremely efficient methods in Astronomy.
In this self-contained book a few applications are given including Prediction of Eclipses, the digit by digit solution of Kepler's Equation, the Prediction of Planetary Positions and the Solution of Spherical Triangles.
Many of the ideas introduced in this book can be developed further and also suggest other lines of research.
