... Formulas are very similar to equations. Consider for now only equations with one unknown variable , denoted by some letter, which can be x but can also be different. An equation is an equality between two mathematical expressions containing the unknown number (maybe in several places), as well as other numbers which are known. ... For instance--if you multiply two sides of a formula by the same number, the result is still a valid formula, even if what you multiply contains unknown numbers. ...

... Some equations, identities or formulas contain small quantities , and these can be made much simpler and easier to use by sacrificing a little accuracy. ...

. Computer Ephemeris. Lunar eclipse numerical map. Explanations. First portion of the page contains coordinates of sub-lunar points during the eclipse. Every point is represented with two numbers: geodetic longitude and geodetic latitude, both in degrees. Second portion of the page contains coordinates of the points at terminator line for the moments of contacts. There are 360 points on the lines, tens of them per line. The starting angle is indicated in the leftmost column.
