Program

This program calculates the date of Easter for any given year. The user transfers the EASTER.LIB file to their HP 48 calculator, stores it to a RAM port, and runs the program by entering the year and pressing EASTR. The program uses a mathematical formula described in Scientific American to determine Easter dates. The creator offers to email an alternative version with a different library number if needed.
