"I'm interested in sundials because of their mathematical relation to the position of the sun at any time. It's a thing of beauty to design an instrument on the basis of mathematics,the physics of solar and Earth motion and the effects of sunlight. Another reason I'm drawn to sundials is aesthetics. There are lots of artistic choices in designing and building one." -Don Synder, Washington University In St. Louis Newsroom
