Abstract
In this recreative piece of work, we present Gauss' calendar formula with some examples to demonstrate how it is applied. Then, based on it, we give a formula for determining dates of particular week days of a given month, and some examples are also given to demonstrate how it is applied. The key mathematical concept behind the formulas is modular arithmetic.
