How bankers and painters invented modern math
Fibonacci, perspective, Copernicus — math as drawing the world.
- Vol. VI The Ledger of Pisa & The Spice Coast How North African customs tables, Italian wool bankruptcies, Malabar monsoon navigation, and a fourteenth-century Kerala palm leaf shattered medieval arithmetic and summoned the infinite continuum (c. 1200 – 1550 CE).
- Vol. VII The Vanishing Point & The Living Body How Tuscan pinhole mirrors, Florentine barrel-gauging, candlelit mortuary dissections, and Leonardo's sketches of river whirlpools dismantled medieval space and foreshadowed the modern continuum (c. 1400 – 1519 CE).
- Vol. VIII The Broken Spheres & The Dowry Workshop How Padua instrument workshops, unpaid sister dowries, imperial horoscopes, and Baltic cathedral towers smashed the crystal heavens and forged the mechanics of continuous acceleration (c. 1540 – 1630 CE).
