MEDIEVAL MATHEMATICS
From the 4th to the 15th centuries the early Middle Ages or Dark Ages
(from 400AD to 1400AD) period of stagnation the late Middle Ages (just before the

East

RENAISSANCE MATHEMATICIANS
Leonardo da Vinci - exploration of the world of
proportionality and spatial mechanics
- preferred drawing as his primary tool to execute his studies
-eg: rhombicuboctahedron,
Leonardo's Vitruvian man's perfect mathematical proportions
