Sundials – works of students of the Faculty of Geography in Belgrade

Description

Gnomonics, the skill of building sundials, is the area of the most elegant application of mathematical geography. In accordance with that, with the students of the Faculty of Ge-ography in Belgrade, within the practical exercises from the Mathematical geography course, in the period 2013-2019, a project was realized under the informal title "The Sun shines for everyone", which is described in this book. After explaining in Chapter 1 what mathematical geography studies and how it relates to gnomonics, the book details how the project went - why wall mounted ones were chosen of all sundials (Chapter 2), what the preparation and division of labor has been [mentor (cal-culation and draft) - student (realization), school principal with teachers (infrastructure support)] (Chapter 3), what the results are (Chapter 4) and what the possibilities of using sundials as teaching aids at all levels of education are (Chapter 5). The chapters are illus-trated via photographs taken by the students during their work.
