A reconstruction of Edward Sang's table of mean anomalies, volume B (K47,1880)
Abstract
This document gives a reconstruction of Edward Sang (1805-1890)'s second table of mean anomalies. It is an abridgement of the table given in Sang's volume K46. The present table also gives the mean anomalies for values of cos(eccentricity) ranging from cos(0) to cos(99), and for the eccentric anomaly ranging from 0 to 200 centesimal degrees, but with a lesser accuracy, and with the variations between two adjacent eccentric anomalies and two adjacent eccentricities. Such a table is useful in solving Kepler's equation. This is Sang's volume K47.
