THE ART OF SCIENCE GEBUNDEN

In addition to linear perspective  complex numbers and probability were notable discoveries of
the Renaissance. While the power of perspective  which transformed Renaissance art  was quickly
recognized  the scientific establishment treated both complex numbers and probability with much
suspicion. It was only in the twentieth century that quantum theory showed how probability
might be molded from complex numbers and defined the notion of complex probability amplitude.
From a theoretical point of view  however  the space opened to painting by linear perspective
and that opened to science by complex numbers share significant characteristics. The Art of
Science explores this shared field with the purpose of extending Leonardo's vision of painting
to issues of mathematics and encouraging the reader to see science as an art. The intention is
to restore a visual dimension to mathematical sciences - an element dulled  if not obscured  by
historians  philosophers  and scientists themselves.
