false 85859 3 <center> <p> The Nature of Genius </p> </center> <p> Leonardo da Vinci was one of history's true geniuses, equally brilliant as an artist, scientist, and mathematician. Readers of <i>The Da Vinci Code</i> were given a glimpse of the mysterious connections between math, science, and Leonardo's art. <i>Math and the Mona Lisa</i> picks up where <i>The Da Vinci Code</i> left off, illuminating Leonardo's life and work to uncover connections that, until now, have been known only to scholars. </p> <p> 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. William D. Phillips, who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1997, 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." </p> 82856 2004 Math and the Mona Lisa: The Art and Science of Leonardo da Vinci total:52|5:10|4:20|3:15|2:5|1:2| 52 187 113 8 3 0 false false Tue Jul 06 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Thu Jan 22 07:41:55 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 07:42:40 -0800 2009 5 0 true false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Aug 05 18:00:07 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 07 14:36:36 -0700 2008
