4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent reference on solar eclipse prediction,
This review is from: Elements of Solar Eclipses 1951-2200 (Paperback)
The main tabular body of this book are Besselian Elements calculated using the newest theories of the motions of the Sun and Moon. The author gives algorithms and numerical examples on how to calculate circumstances of a solar eclipse anywhere on the earth's surface, these algorithms can easily be programed on a home computer. The book's biggest drawback is that it contains no maps showing paths of eclipses.

It works, but doesn't tell why.,
This review is from: Elements of Solar Eclipses 1951-2200 (Paperback)
As it is usual in Meeus' books, it presents a thorough exposition of all the algorithms needed to calculate with high accuracy all you can imagine, but there is not the slightest sketch of a mathematical proof in the whole text, making it incomplete. You will find it very useful, as I have, to compute the local circumstances of solar eclipses in remote or very particular locations, and much more, but you will LEARN nothing.
