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.
