Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci(April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519)
From my view Da Vinci is a great painter for which he is renowned for and who can forget his master piece painting the "MONA LISA ". But today i would like to bring his other side which most of the people doesn't know about i.e Da vinci as a Scientist, inventor and as a encryptor ( Da vinci as a encryptor is still a myth which scientist still trying to find out )- First of all lets take a look to Da vinci's study in the field of Engineering and Mathematics
"Paris Manuscript H 1493-94"
Manuscript H consists of three pocket notebooks bound together. In them, Leonardo begins to study Euclidian geometry, an understanding of which was a prerequisite for drawing the geometrical forms
of polyhedrons for Luca Pacioli’s De Divina Proportione, which Pacioli subsequently commissioned from Leonardo.
He also considers the design of drawing instruments, such as compasses. The annotations on Euclid contained in these noteb
He also considers the design of drawing instruments, such as compasses. The annotations on Euclid contained in these notebooks sometimes consist solely of drawings or diagrams.

"Paris Manuscript B 1488-90"
Paris Manuscript B is the earliest of Leonardo’s bound manuscripts, with the Codex Trivulzianus.It contains drawings and notes relating to a range of subjects, the most famous of which concern mechanical inventions for flight, such as the so-called helicopter, a submarine, and architectural studies with designs for churches based on centralised plans.

And now for today's last study of his in mathematics is the
"Working in propotionality "
An interest in mathematics was raised when Leonardo met up with Fra Luca Pacioli who introduced him to the delights of the topic, especially geometry. For a time the Italian mathematician moved in with Leonard
o and he later illustrated Fra Luca Pacioli's book "On Divine Proportion".
This new interest caused him to develop the idea, "There is no certainty where one cannot apply any of the mathematical sciences." Today this concept is universally accepted, but in Leonardo's time it was revolutionary thinking.

I hope you guys will like it .. there's many more coming in next part...
good work tahir. would appreciate more drawings like the first ever design of a helicopter from Codice Atlántico. or youo may add some reference to his work on human anatomy...
ReplyDeletethnx sir..... after completing his engineering part i'll surely gonna switch ti ahow some of his work in human anatomy
