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
credit card and a PayPal account is not required to make a purchase. Before purchasing the software, please read
