    • Two incomplete writings regarding the mathematics and design of sundials, including one by the architectural writer Vitruvius, have survived, reinforcing the notion that gnomonics was indeed an active area of mathematical pursuit.
    • We know of gnomonics applied to architecture in another geometrical monument, Castel del Monte, from the studies of Aldo Tavolaro published in 1981.
    • The plates duplicate Wolff's choice of subjects - arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, astronomy, geography, chronology, gnomonics, fortification, artillery, civil architecture, optics and mechanics.

    • His Analemma was mathematical description of a sphere projected on a plane, subsequently known as an ‘orthographic projection,’ which greatly simplified the study of gnomonics.
    • When one of them, the young Christopher Wren, went to Wadham in 1650, he was already interested in gnomonics.
    • In the modern era, however, neither astronomy, nor surveying, nor gunnery, nor gnomonics (the making of sundials), nor most of the other disciplines represented in this collection of instruments, could be called a branch of mathematics in any straightforward or unqualified way, even though they all make some use of mathematical techniques.
