Date Calculation Methods
Date calculations involve determining the time difference between two specific dates. This can be measured in various units including days, weeks, months, and years. Business day calculations exclude weekends and sometimes holidays, making them useful for project planning and deadline management.
History of Calendar Systems
The Gregorian calendar, used worldwide today, was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to correct the drift in the Julian calendar. The Gregorian calendar includes leap years every four years (with exceptions for century years) to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year.
