A calendrical calculation is a calculation concerning calendar dates. Calendrical calculations can be considered an area of applied mathematics . Some examples of calendrical calculations: Converting a Julian or Gregorian calendar date to its Julian day number and vice versa (see § Julian day number calculation within that article for details ...
A perpetual calendar employs a table for finding which of fourteen yearly calendars to use. A table for the Gregorian calendar expresses its 400-year grand cycle: 303 common years and 97 leap years total to 146,097 days, or exactly 20,871 weeks. This cycle breaks down into one 100-year period with 25 leap years, making 36,525 days, or one day ...
7th day of the 1st month: 人日 ( Jinjitsu ), 七草の節句 ( Nanakusa no sekku) held on 7 January. 3rd day of the 3rd month: 上巳 ( Jōshi ), 桃の節句 ( Momo no sekku) held on 3 March in many areas, but in some area on 3 April. 雛祭り ( Hina matsuri ), Girls' Day. 5th day of the 5th month: Tango ( 端午 ): mostly held on 5 May.
No guidance is provided about conversion of dates before March 5, -500, or after February 29, 2100 (both being Julian dates). For unlisted dates, find the date in the table closest to, but earlier than, the date to be converted. Be sure to use the correct column. If converting from Julian to Gregorian, add the number from the "Difference" column.
The Doomsday rule, Doomsday algorithm or Doomsday method is an algorithm of determination of the day of the week for a given date. It provides a perpetual calendar because the Gregorian calendar moves in cycles of 400 years. The algorithm for mental calculation was devised by John Conway in 1973, [1] [2] drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll ...
The Revised Julian calendar date of Easter is JD + S − 1. Example. What is the date of Easter in 2017? 2017 + 1 = 2018. 2018 ÷ 19 = 106 remainder 4. Golden number is 4. Date of paschal full moon is April 2 (Julian). From "week table" April 2, 2017 (Julian) is Saturday. JD = April 3. 2017 − 100 = 1917. 1917 ÷ 100 = 19 remainder 17. N = 19 ...
The Gregorian calendar, like the Julian calendar, is a solar calendar with 12 months of 28–31 days each. The year in both calendars consists of 365 days, with a leap day being added to February in the leap years. The months and length of months in the Gregorian calendar are the same as for the Julian calendar.
The last modification date stamp (and with DELWATCH 2.0+ also the file deletion date stamp, and since DOS 7.0+ optionally also the last access date stamp and creation date stamp), are stored in the directory entry with the year represented as an unsigned seven bit number (0–127), relative to 1980, and thereby unable to indicate any dates in ...
