Calendrical Calculations
Gregorian, Julian, and Islamic calendars.
Gregorian calendar computations implemented in C appear in [BR95]. This code uses 1582 as the date of
the calendar reform, instead of the standard UNIX date of 1752. The code for these algorithms is printed
in the text and are available on disk for a modest fee.
Notes: The most comprehensive discussion of calendrical computation algorithms are the papers by
Dershowitz and Reingold [DR90, RDC93]. These papers are superseded by their book [DR97]. Histories
of the Gregorian calendar appear in [BR95].
