History has been quick to recognize the crucial impact of linear perspective on painting, but reluctant to acknowledge the importance of complex numbers and probability. Both were treated with a great deal of suspicion by the scientific establishment and overlooked for many years. It was only in the twentieth century, when quantum theory defined the notion of "complex probability amplitude", that complex numbers merged with probability and transformed the image of the physical world. From a theoretical point of view, however, the space opened to painting by linear perspective and the space opened to science by complex numbers are equally valuable and share significant characteristics. By exploring that common ground, The Art of Science will lead the reader to complement Leonardo?s vision of painting as a science and to see science as an art. Its aim is to restore a visual dimension to mathematical sciences ? an element dulled, if not obscured, by historians, philosophers, and scientists themselves. 606 $aMathematics 606 $aPhysics 606 $aHistory 606 $aCultural heritage 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aMathematics in Art and Architecture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M34000 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 606 $aCultural Heritage$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/419000 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aCultural heritage. 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 14$aMathematics in Art and Architecture. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 615 24$aCultural Heritage. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 676 $a363.69 676 $a501 676 $a509.03 676 $a510 702 $aLupacchini$b Rossella$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAngelini$b Annarita$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299970403321 996 $aArt of science$91410202 997 $aUNINA
