DIGITAL RESOURCES: Leonardo da Vinci's Geometric Sketches

The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) has offered this educational resources that brings together the work of the Franciscan friar Luca Pacioli (c.1445-1509) and the geometric sketches of Leonardo Da Vinci. Visitors will find an introduction to this educational resource, along with illustrations of cubes, octahedrons, and cylinders. The accompanying article was written by Frank J. Swetz, and it is easy to see how these materials could be incorporated into a classroom discussion about the history of mathematics. Investigate for yourself and share your findings.
