invented by a greek person named anaximander..... he taught the greek philosopher who came up with the pythagorean theorem, which explains why the gnomon deals with trigonometry and also why there is also an unknown angle within the triangle that deals with the shadow created by the sun over the pole (gnomon).
It doesn't. The gnomon is supposed to match the latitude of the location where the sundial is placed. If the latitude is 30 degrees and the gnomon is 45 the entire sundial will have to be tilted to keep correct time. Another way to describe this is to say that the gnomon should be parallel to the Earth's axis.
gnomon
The stationery arm of a sundial is called the "gnomon." It is the part that casts a shadow onto the dial face to indicate the time.
The pin of a sundial is called a gnomon. It is the part of the sundial that casts a shadow onto the dial face to indicate the time.
The pin of a sundial where the shadow falls is called the gnomon. It is typically a thin, straight rod that extends vertically from the sundial's base. The shadow cast by the gnomon is used to indicate the time of day on the sundial's face.
He didn't. The sundial, or gnomon has been used since antiquity.

The gnomon is the physical component of a sundial that casts a shadow onto the graduated scale for the purpose of timekeeping.

gnomon
The gnomon must be facing north and the base must be level

The suns angle creates a colored diffraction line directly on the CD, that is, there is no shadow created so you do not need a gnomon.
