I was playing around with a sun-tracker idea (arduino operated, of course) a couple months back, but seeing as the project flopped, I made the best of a bad situation and derived an interesting geometrical equation for a sunflower-esque geometrical shape (well, the equation solves for one side, but the rest is either given or irrelevant when constructing the model in real life):
Mine flopped because of hardware limitations - well, you can't really blame the sensors, it was also the fact that the idea was a proof-of-concept, and the concept failed
Well yours actually calculates the sun's position using some data - ergo mathematical
Mine was a "use some sensors to find the shiniest point in the sky and then get the relative angle to that point from the servos' position", which isn't really mathematical
