calpak

calpak, a MATLAB code which computes various simple calendrical quantities. It can work with various calendars including Egyptian, English, French Revolutionary, Gregorian, Julian, and Julian Ephemeris Date. It can convert a date from one calendar to another. It can return the day of the week for a given date. It can convert from day-number/year to day/month/year format. It can calculate the time difference between two dates.

Some common methods of marking the date include:

• JED, the Julian Ephemeris Date, a count of days since a long time ago;
• YMD, for "year, month, day";
• YJ, for "year, day number".

While there have been many calendars over the years, it is instructive to contemplate just the crazy story of our current "common" calendar. To this day, people disagree about whether there was a year 0, although the Julian calendar was a Roman invention, and Dionysius Exiguus, who gets the blame for shifting the Julian calendar's starting date to the birth year of Christ four hundred years afterwards, didn't have an accurate idea of when that was.

There was a controversial shift from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, which took place piecemeal throughout the Catholic world, with several countries actually switching back and forth more than once, and with England holding out on the old system until after George Washington was born (which means he was born on February 11 AND February 22).

People didn't agree on when the year started, so that January and February, in particular, were a little murky about which year they belonged to, and the year sometimes started around March 22, near the vernal equinox.

There are a number of side issues, including

• determining the day of the week of a given date;
• determining the number of days between two dates;
• the computation of the date of certain holidays;
