Reviews for Math and the Mona Lisa  
"The broad sweep of Professor Atalay's brilliant mind brings us an approach to understanding the Vincian genius that is so insightful, so original and so well-reasoned that it immediately becomes an essential volume in the canon of Leonardiana. I read this monumental achievement in awe of the author's perceptions."

— Sherwin B. Nuland, Professor Emeritus of Surgery, Yale University; recipient of 1994 National Book Award; author, Leonardo da Vinci
Calendar of Lectures and Book Signings
"A masterful examination of the differences and similarities in the sciences and the arts, as embodied by that genius of both fields: Leonardo da Vinci. Professor Bülent Atalay has penetrated Leonardo's mind, in a way that is both highly readable and very informative."

—Jamie Wyeth, distinguished American artist.


Interviews and Feature Stories
"Leonardo is the prototype for the renaissance man — artist, architect, philosopher, scientist, writer. There are few like him today, but Atalay is indeed a modern renaissance man, and he invites us to tap the power of synthesis that is Leonardo's model."

—William D. Phillips, 1997 Nobel Laureate in Physics
