Description
For a neutrino telescope to be of any use, it must be able to point the detected ultra-high-energy neutrino events back to their source [1]. In order to point back to the source the location of the event's interaction with seawater and the direction in which the neutrino entered the water must be calculated. Two methods will be discussed here in which the location of the event's interaction with seawater can be calculated, using either an analytical method or using a look-up table. The minimum number of detectors needed to perform the reconstruction and the case of unknown detector locations will also be discussed
