Rigorous deductive reasoning on the part of the mathematician may be likened here to the technical skill in drawing on the part of the painter. Just as one cannot become a painter without a certain amount of skill, so no one can become a mathematician without the power to reason accurately up to a certain point.... Other qualities of a far more subtle sort, chief among which in both cases is imagination, go to the making of a good artist or a good mathematician." 9eac8f8c727015bb6c5c003fe5e5bb8f Susan Dean http://faculty.deanza.edu/deansusan/2002/02/28 Clearly, without math, there would be no architecture and without math, the Rennaissance artist Filippo Brunelleschi could not have invented linear perspective. However, artists use math in far more subtle ways as well. The lines they weave, the shapes they use, the space they manipulate, and the proportions they create are all inextricably entwined with math.<br> 9557e652f549d05a1e19d2eaf927917b Susan Dean http://faculty.deanza.edu/deansusan/2002/02/28 --- 9efc314b65237d5d646e1b817372afc6 Susan Dean http://faculty.deanza.edu/deansusan/2002/02/28 dcb9be2f604e5df91deb9659bed4748d Susan Dean
