Math and architecture strongly tie together. Leonardo da
Vinci experienced both professions. He was a great mathematician
as well as an architect. Although his works of art is very well
known today, many were never even completed. His knowledge
enabled him to imagine fascinating experiments that he longed to
try. Thus, took his time away from other important projects.

As a young child da Vinci had a wonderful imagination that
most people can’t even imagine having. He was already expected
to be artistic because of an artistic family background. As a child
he was apprenticed to a workshop in Florence. Three years pass
and he paints The Adoration of the Magi.

Another project he undertook was in later life. He drew up
the plans for a colossal equestrian monument. This was a very
important sculpture for the duke’s father. A project like this would
take an abundance of math skills to persue.

Leonardo was interested in engineering also. He was no
longer involved in art, but in becoming a mapmaker and military
engineer for Cesare Borgia. He stayed in Italy during this time and
that’s when he painted the Mona Lisa. Most of his art is said to
have some kind of symmetry to it.

Leonardo returned to Milan for seven years . During this
time he worked on the equestrian monument to Gian Giacomo
Trivulzio. This monument and Sorza monument was never
completed.

He left Italy forever to become an architectural advisor to
King Francais I of France. Here he used his skills to build
structures and other things for the king.

Leonardo’s other assignments included anatomy, in which he
was extremely interested. To better hie painting and sculpture he
examined things like animals to get a first hand feel of what it was
like. Many of his painting during this period reflected what he
remembered seeing and not actually what he saw. Even though his
beliefs, all of his drawings were accurate to the animal part he was
drawing.

Da Vinci’s studies in anatomy enabled him to portray
prototypes of an airplane and helicopter. Which are both a big
mark in Renaissance history.

Everything that’s discussed has either contributed to math or
architecture. Leonardo was very talented and was able to learn
quickly. He imagined dreams and made them come true. Without
his knowledge of math and architecture this would not have been
possible.
