Numerical problems to be solved in astronomy
Zefram Cochrane wrote:
Hello everyone, I wanted to experiment with parallel programming for pcs. And I was wondering if there was a problem dealing with astronomy that I can try solving by using parallel programming. I am looking for problems that deal with equations of any type basically like calculating a planets position for the next 100 years or so. But I would like to see if there are other things other can calculating an ephermeris that I can do that would be interesting and on a topic that everybody would like some computed data on. Any pointers to websites or books would be very helpful. Thanking you all, Zefram Cochrane A highly regarded book is 'Astronomical Algorithms' by Jean Meeus - although parallel processing will be overkill. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books -- 25° 45' S 28° 12' E GMT+2 Join the Planetary Society http://www.planetary.org
