What date will Easter Monday fall on in 2008?

Here, calculate it yourself for ANY year:

Easter:=proc(y)

You need to run

seq(Easter(y),y=2008..2020);

to get the answer. Replace 2008..2020 with the years you want. This calculates Easter Sunday, but I'm sure you'd manage to work out Easter Monday from the results. (Hint: )

P.S. You'll also need a copy of Maple or adapt the above for another programming language.

P.P.S. Why'd nobody else think of this answer? Give a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime.

OP has their answer. Thread closed. For future reference, you can expect to be flamed for asking a question when the answer is easily obtained.
