Re: Ya Gnomon?/ Mathematica
Thank you, Michael.
I've downloaded Sundial Construction
at the URL that you gave (below) and opened it using Mathreader
available at:
http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathreader/
I think that I'm not going to see the sun for months whilst poring
through this most thorough treatment!
Thank you, I think.

Re: Ya Gnomon?
Hello everyone, Many thanks for all the EXTREMELY interesting responses. Perhaps the following title may prove useful too, this is where I got the Hero reference from. Again, thank you all. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0691005141/qid=933291192/sr=1-1/002-2335182-6916060 -Luke
