HP 48G: When is Easter?
The following program will accurately calculate the date
when Easter occurs. Special thanks to
Peter Ketel for furnishing this program to me and he has given me permission to
share it on this blog. Much appreciated,
Peter!
This should be able to be adopted on the HP 49G and HP 50G
easily.
