Tablets dating back to the Old Babylonian period document the application of mathematics to the variation in the length of daylight over a solar year. They used an astrolabe which is an elaborate inclinometer, historically used by astronomers, navigators, and astrologers. Its many uses include locating and predicting the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, determining local time given local latitude and vice-versa, surveying, triangulation, and to cast horoscopes.
