Celestial Computing with MATLAB
Welcome
Celestial
Computing with MATLAB is a collection of MATLAB scripts, utility functions and data
files that can be used to solve a variety of practical problems in celestial mechanics
and astronomy. These algorithms were
developed using version 7.0 of MATLAB.
However, please note that the world map and binary ephemeris files
provided as part of this package will only work on Windows compatible
computers.
The cost of this
software suite is $99. It can be ordered using the secure and
flexible e-commerce services provided by PayPal (www.paypal.com). PayPal accepts online payments by
