Re: [50g] equation library and astrodynamics

I don't have the 50 either but I suspect it has the same library as the 48. I trust someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

That is essentially correct. On a related topic, I wanted to ask someone more familliar with the 50g than I am (I still do not own one. The price and availability seem to have me hexed.) if the Library contains anything for astrophysics and astrodynamics, beyond the simple standards usually lumped in with physics on some other popular handhelds?
If such a library is found lacking, I should like to put forth some effort to creating a library whose primary application would be the application of Kepler and other standards to the study of satellite motion and the prediction of windows of observation, through the use of standard two-line element (TLE) sets.
Obviously, one does not wish to re-invent the wheel. I have a considerable body of experience brought over from use of the 48gx for the same applications. Such a library may already exist. If so, the only question remaining would be conversion and compilation/ importation from the 48gx to the 50g.

Any thoughts along this line of country would be appreciated, and I would, naturally, make any such library or application freely available to all for use.

I think the equation library is meant mostly for engineers rather than mathematicians. That's why you see things like moments of inertia.
