At the present time the orbit of the Quadrantid meteor stream not only intersects the orbit of Earth but also passes very close to the orbit of the planet Jupiter. This causes considerable perturbations. In a series of three papers (1,2,3) the authors replaced the myriad of meteoroids in the stream by ten test particles set at equal intervals of eccentric anomaly around the orbit. The equations of motion of these particles in the solar system were solved using a standard fourth order Runge–Kutta technique with self–adjusting step lengths. The orbits of the test particles were output at ten year intervals going back from the present to the year 300 B.C. and forward into the future to the year A.D. 3780.
