Leonardo was one of history's true geniuses, equally brilliant as an artist, scientist, and mathematician. This book picks up where The Da Vinci Code left off, illuminating Leonardo's life and work to uncover connections previously known only to scholars. Following Leonardo's own model, Atalay searches for the internal dynamics of art and science, revealing their deep unity. He provides an overview of the development of science from the dawn of civilization to today's quantum mechanics. From this base, Atalay offers a view into Leonardo's restless intellect and modus operandi, allowing us to see the source of his ideas and to appreciate his art from a new perspective. Nobel Prize winning physicist William D. Phillips writes of the author, "Atalay is indeed a modern renaissance man, and he invites us to tap the power of synthesis that is Leonardo's model."--From publisher description.… (més)

Wonderful illustration of the science and art weave that is found in every da Vinci painting, drawing and more. (

Deeply rooted in mathematical principles - almost painfully so - this book really appeals only to people who love math and stories about math. For the math-illiterate, this book was a painfully slow read, and I must confess that I never really got into the book. A great premise, done in such a heavy way that it may be inaccessible to many people, which is a shame. (

Leonardo da Vinci was one of history's true geniuses, equally brilliant as an artist, scientist, and
mathematician. Readers of The Da Vinci Code were given a glimpse of the mysterious
connections between math, science, and Leonardo's art. Math and the Mona Lisa picks up
where The Da Vinci Code left off, illuminating Leonardo's life and work to uncover
connections that, until now, have been known only to scholars. Following Leonardo's own
unique model, Atalay searches for the internal dynamics of art and science, revealing to us the
deep unity of the two cultures. He provides a broad overview of the development of science
from the dawn of civilization to today's quantum mechanics. From this base of information,
Atalay offers a fascinating view into Leonardo's restless intellect and modus operandi, allowing
us to see the source of his ideas and to appreciate his art from a new perspective. --from

Prologue
In the late 1950s the British scientist and writer C. P. Snow delivered the Rede Lecture at Cambridge University and identified two disparate intellectual cultures: the intellectuals among the humanists (including artists and writers) and the intellectuals among the scientists (natural scientists and mathematicians).
