I am searching for books that have tons of math equations and/or formulas dealing with astronomy?
Any good, easy books for me to explore and purchase?

Amature astronomers handbook is the most reconized book for amature astronomers. It contains many formulae for many areas of astronomy. Ex. how to measure distances to stars,telescope making,grinding own mirrors and lenses,eyepiece selection,focal lenght so on and so forth, much is covered in the book. It is considered the amature astronomers bible.

Well "tons of math equations and/or formulas" and "easy books" is contradictory. The one in the source has plenty of math, but I wouldn't call it easy.

"Astronomical Algorithms", by Jean Meeus is very popular.
