how to calculate moonrise-moonset-sunrise-sunset?

Hi all
I am looking for a suitable algoirthm or step-by-step methodology of
deriving moonrise moonset and sunrise sunset at any given place in the
solar system.I am not looking for any specific programs,but am
particularly interested in the method/algorithm/calculation steps that
i can do by hand/calculator.

Any help or pointers in this regard is greatly appreciated

Thanks and Regards
