  4 +<hr>
  5 +<p>This page lists some references that give useful information on methods for
  6 +transforming vectors and tensors between different space physics coordinate
  7 +systems. </p>

  22 +</ul>
  23 +<h2>Reference works</h2>
  24 +<ul><li><a name="alcom"></a>The <i>Almanac for Computers</i> published each
  25 +year by the <a href="http://aa.usno.navy.mil/AA">US Naval Observatory</a>
  26 +contains many useful formulae for calculating many of the rotation angles used
  27 +in space physics coordinate transformations.</li>
  28 +<li><a name="aa"></a>The <i>Astronomical Almanac</i> jointly published each
  29 +year by the US Naval Observatory and the UK
  30 +<a href="http://www.nao.rl.ac.uk/">Nautical Almanac Office</a> contains
  31 +much useful information on formulae used in coordinate transformations.</li>
  32 +<li><a name="esup"></a>The <i>Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical
  33 +Almanac</i> published in 1992 contains more detailed information. The old 1961
  34 +edition, which was published as the <i>Explanatory Supplement to the
  35 +Astronomical Emphemeris</i>, is still widely available and remains a useful
  36 +reference. </li>
  37 +<li><a name="prac"></a><i>Practical Astronomy with your Calculator</i> by
  38 +Peter Duffett-Smith, first published in 1979 by Cambridge University Press,
  39 +gives an excellent short introduction to some of the astronomical calculations
  40 +underlying space physics coordinate transformations. A version of this book for
  41 +personal computers is also available.</li>
