Hello fellows in sundialling

I've already ordered some books, including
"Astronomy With Your Personal Computer" (Peter J. Duffett-Smith),
"Practical Astronomy With Your Calculator", ( Peter J. Duffett-Smith)
"Astronomical Formulae for Calculators"  (Jean H. Meeus)

so I expect to be able to ask question of higher significance in the
future.
Meanwhile, please bear with my novice questions.

Is there a formula to calculate the sun declination based on the date
and perhaps
the local time? The idea here, of course, is getting rid of any tables.

Thank you


- fernando
