Readers of \u003ci\u003eThe Da Vinci Code\u003c\/i\u003e were given a glimpse of the mysterious connections between math, science, and Leonardo's art. \u003ci\u003eMath and the Mona Lisa\u003c\/i\u003e picks up where \u003ci\u003eThe Da Vinci Code\u003c\/i\u003e left off, illuminating Leonardo's life and work to uncover connections that, until now, have been known only to scholars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bülent Atalay, a distinguished scientist and artist, examines the science and mathematics that underlie Leonardo's work, paying special attention to the proportions, patterns, shapes, and symmetries that scientists and mathematicians have also identified in nature. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bulent Atalay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1588344932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781588344939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Smithsonian Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.32w x 0.93d","brand":"Bulent Atalay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047871574271,"sku":"9781588344939","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a15419d-0eb3-4189-a84e-48ee703c40e4.jpg?v=1684992633","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/math-and-the-mona-lisa-bulent-atalay-9781588344939","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
