The astronomers' calendar 2000-11-29
From Show_Li:
The calendar that astronomers use began on Jan. 1, 4713 B.C. on that day, the julian calendar, the lunar calendar, and roman tax system calendar all coincided. This won't happen again until 3267 A.D.
(a). How many years ago was the astronomer's calendar started?
(b). Find the number of years between times that the three calendars coincided.
