Review text

This paper presents an easy method of analysis for mean motion astronomical tables the purpose of which is to refine both E. S. Kennedy and B. van Dalen's procedures. These use Pascal programming, so we deduce that the author does it, too, since no other software is mentioned. The author indicates the advantages of his method in detecting transcription errors and also contributes to the analysis of Azarquiel's mean motion trepidation tables for the Julian, Persian and Arabic calendars. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0855.00012].
