EDITORS COMMENTS
Alhazen's Problem: A Glimpse into the Mind of Leonardo da Vinci from the Atlantic Codex (Codex Atlanticus) at The Science and Technology Museum, Milan, Italy The Atlantic Codex, also known as Codex Atlanticus, is a significant collection of Leonardo da Vinci's notes, sketches, and studies, housed at The Science and Technology Museum in Milan, Italy. One of the most intriguing pages in this 15th-century manuscript is dedicated to Alhazen's Problem, a geometric conundrum that captivated scholars during the Renaissance. Alhazen's Problem, also known as the "Three Mountains Problem," was first posed by the 11th-century Arab mathematician and physicist Ibn al-Haytham, or Alhazen. The problem involves three cones, each with a different base angle, standing on a plane with their vertices aligned. The challenge was to find the positions of the centers of the circles that would touch the tops of all three cones. Leonardo da Vinci's drawing in the Atlantic Codex showcases his meticulous approach to solving the problem. He employed a method that involved constructing the circles' centers using intersections of certain lines. Leonardo's dedication to this problem is a testament to his insatiable curiosity and his mastery of geometry and mathematics. The presence of Alhazen's Problem in the Atlantic Codex provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual exchange between Europe and the Middle East during the Renaissance. Leonardo's study of this problem, along with his other groundbreaking work, significantly contributed to the modern age's understanding of science, technology, and mathematics.
