// Gauss'sche Formel zur Berechnung des Osterdatums
// Wann wird Ostern gefeiert? Wie erfährt man das Osterdatum für ein
// bestimmtes Jahr, ohne in einen Kalender zu schauen?
//
// Ostern ist ein "bewegliches" Fest. Es wird am ersten Sonntag nach dem
// ersten Frühlingsvollmond gefeiert. Damit ist der 22. März der früheste
// Termin, der 25. April der letzte, auf den Ostern fallen kann. Von
// diesem Termin hängen auch die Feste Christi Himmelfahrt, das 40 Tage
// nach Ostern, und Pfingsten, das 50 Tage nach Ostern gefeiert wird, ab.
//
// Von Carl Friedrich Gauß (Mathematiker, Astronom und Physiker;
// 1777-1855) stammt ein Algorithmus, der es erlaubt ohne Kenntnis des
// Mondkalenders die Daten der Osterfeste für die Jahre 1700 bis 2199 zu
// bestimmen.
//
// Gib eine Jahreszahl zwischen 1700 und 2199 ein:
//
// Und so funktioniert der Algorithmus:
//
// Es sei:
//
// J    die Jahreszahl
// a    der Divisionsrest von   J/19
// b    der Divisionsrest von   J/4
// c    der Divisionsrest von   J/7
// d    der Divisionsrest von   (19*a + M)/30
// e    der Divisionsrest von   (2*b + 4*c + 6*d + N)/7
//
// wobei M und N folgende Werte annehmen:
//
// für die Jahre        M       N
//  1583-1599          22       2
//  1600-1699          22       2
//  1700-1799          23       3
//  1800-1899          23       4
//  1900-1999          24       5
//  2000-2099          24       5
//  2100-2199          24       6
//  2200-2299          25       0
//  2300-2399          26       1
//  2400-2499          25       1
//
// Dann fällt Ostern auf den
// (22 + d + e)ten März
//
// oder den
// (d + e - 9)ten April
//
// Beachte:
// Anstelle des 26. Aprils ist immer der 19. April zu setzen,
// anstelle des 25. Aprils immer dann der 18. April, wenn d=28 und a>10.

// Der Ostersonntag ist ein sog. unregelmäßiger Feiertag. Alle anderen
// unregelmäßigen Feiertage eines Jahres leiten sich von diesem Tag ab:
//
//    * Aschermittwoch ist 46 Tage vor Ostern.
//    * Pfingsten ist 49 Tage nach Ostern.
//    * Christi Himmelfahrt ist 10 Tage vor Pfingsten.
//    * Fronleichnam ist 11 Tage nach Pfingsten.
//
// Man muß also nur den Ostersonntag ermitteln, um alle anderen
// unregelmäßigen Feiertage zu berechnen. Doch wie geht das?
//
// Dazu etwas Geschichte:
//
// Das 1. Kirchenkonzil im Jahre 325 hat festgelegt:
//
//    * Ostern ist stets am ersten Sonntag nach dem ersten Vollmond des
//      Frühlings.
//    * Stichtag ist der 21. März, die "Frühlings-Tagundnachtgleiche".
//
// Am 15.10.1582 wurde von Papst Gregor XIII. der bis dahin gültige
// Julianische Kalender reformiert. Der noch heute gültige Gregorianische
// Kalender legt dabei folgendes fest:
//
// Ein Jahr hat 365 Tage und ein Schaltjahr wird eingefügt, wenn das Jahr
// durch 4 oder durch 400, aber nicht durch 100 teilbar ist. Hieraus
// ergeben sich die zwei notwendigen Konstanten, um den Ostersonntag zu
// berechnen:
//
//   1. Die Jahreslänge von und bis zum Zeitpunkt der
//      Frühlings-Tagundnachtgleiche: 365,2422 mittlere Sonnentage
//   2. Ein Mondmonat: 29,5306 mittlere Sonnentage
//
// Mit der "Osterformel", von Carl Friedrich Gauß (1777-1855) im Jahre 1800
// entwickelt, läßt sich der Ostersonntag für jedes Jahr von 1583 bis 8202
// berechnen.
//
// Der früheste mögliche Ostertermin ist der 22. März. (Wenn der Vollmond
// auf den 21. März fällt und der 22. März ein Sonntag ist.)
//
// Der späteste mögliche Ostertermin ist der 25. April. (Wenn der Vollmond
// auf den 21. März fällt und der 21. März ein Sonntag ist.)
