👉 Gnomons are a type of mathematical object in the field of algebraic geometry, particularly in the study of polynomial equations. They are not typically encountered in everyday life or mathematics, but they have been studied in the context of cryptography and coding theory. In the realm of algebraic geometry, gnomons can be seen as points on a plane that are singular at certain points, forming a curve with an infinite number of branches. The curves generated by such gnomons were first described by French
