Painting is a science and all sciences are based on mathematics.
No human inquiry can be a science unless it pursues its path
through mathematical exposition and demonstration.”
— Leonardo Da Vinci
“The harmony of the world is made manifest in Form and
Number, and the heart and soul and all the poetry of Natural
Philosophy are embodied in the concept of mathematical beauty.”
— Sir D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson
. “A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of
patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs,
it is because they are made with ideas.”
