eli5: What is an IsoWeek?

466 views

I get that it has something to do fiscal years and it has something to do with leap year, but for the life of me I can’t make the connection nor make the distinction between IsoWeeks and just counting the number of weeks it has been since the first full week of the year.

Wait. Is the first full week of the year week 1? I know this is only for the Georgian calendar, right? Or… is there different IsoWeeks for different calendars? Do people actually use IsoWeeks?

I am in fact feeling like a five year old right now.

Iso stands for international standard organization, but I couldn’t tell you what they define as a week. Assuming there is a standard there should be a number for it like: ISOxxxx
