Learn the method behind the numbers
These are the reference articles behind the rest of the site. They show how a universal day number is worked out by hand, what each number means, why 11, 22 and 33 are treated differently, and how a particular month behaves. Every one is original writing, and none of it needs the calculator to follow along.
