Sundials, which decorate church walls, public plazas, and elegant gardens, are first and foremost astronomical instruments. Before understanding how sundials work, one must first understand the apparent motion of the Sun in the sky. In this book, Denis Savoie presents the basics of astronomy require...
The large masonry instruments designed by Sawai Jai Singh and erected in his five observatories in the early eighteenth century mark the culmination of a long process of development in astronomical instrumentation. But what kind of astronomical instruments were used in India before Jai Singh’s tim...
For thousands of years, people have built so-called calendar buildings: buildings that served as sundials for measuring time or were used for astronomical calculations.

Der Umgang mit Zeit zählt zu den gesellschaftlichen Konstanten, die eine Kultur definieren. Der vorliegende Band analysiert für die Kulturen Griechenlands und Italiens den antiken Umgang mit Zeitmessung im Rahmen einer kulturgeschichtlichen Untersuchung. Dafür werden über 500 Zeugnisse, vor alle...
This open access book highlights the critical role of numerical software libraries in advancing applied mathematics and enabling faster, more accurate simulations in science and engineering. These libraries provide high-quality implementations of efficient algorithms, facilitating the transfer of ne...
This is an unusual book, combining as it does papers on astrobiology, history of astronomy and sundials, but—after all—Woody Sullivan is an unusual man. In late 2003 I spent two fruitful and enjoyable months in the Astronomy Department at the University of Washington (UW) working on archival mat...
