Book for Software

If you want to calculate the longitudes of planets and create an Astro Software, then the best book for you is Laplace's CelestialMechanics. You can find out the mean longitudes of the planets, calculate the perturbations, the epicycles and then calculate the Heliocentric Longitudes of planets. You can use Laplacian equations to then reduce it to the Ecliptic Coordinates and then reduce them to Geocentric Coordinates, thus computing the true longitudes of the planets. A must for Astro software developers.


Kepler's Formulae

Kepler represents Old Astronomy. If you want to creat an Astro Software, you have to solve the Kepler problem. The Kepler Equation, M = E - e Sin E, may sound easy, but it is a transcendental equation and the most difficult amongst Kepler's equations. We can find out the True Anomaly of the planet, that is the angle between the planet and perihelion. The next step is to find the Argument of Perihelion, which is the angle between the Node and perihelion.


Laplace - Advanced Astronomy

Laplace's Celestial Mechanics is one of the best books ever written. If you read this magnificent book, you can handle Astronomy and Maths easily. 

Ayurveda is what the Seers prescribed !

Ayurveda evolved from Atharva Veda and the Upanishads ( Atharva vedasu upanishadsu pragulpannah ). It is the Art of Being, the Science of Life. Ayur means Life and Veda means Knowledge. It is the oldest healthcare system in the world.



Who has not heard about Ayurveda ? So great is this Science of Life that almost all clincis, parlours and resorts have" Ayurvedic massage", "Ayurvedic Spa", " Ayurvedic treatments" etc attached to them. Despite its immense popularity, the concept of Ayurveda remains vague amidst all. The world's oldest health care system is Ayurveda. It is important for eveyone to have basic info about Ayurveda for his good health.\

What is Ayurveda? is a superb book by Dr Shashi Patwardan. One becomes familiar with the rudiments of Ayurveda. You become familiar with Home Remedies !
