The Almagest: A Manual for Ptolemy
The Mini Almagest is the manual for the
demonstration version of Ptolemy.
The full manual for Ptolemy is divided into three volumes:
User's Manual,
Programmer's Manual, and
Kernel Manual.
Currently, only the User's Manual has been updated. Until the
Ptolemy0.6 documentation is complete, please use Volumes III and IV
from the 0.5.2 release.
Each volume is listed below as a collection of compressed
PostScript files suitable for previewing or printing. The User's
Manual and Kernel Manual is also available as hypertext. The entire
manual in postscript form is also included with the software
distribution.
