The ultimate polymath
Leonardo da Vinci died today in 1519. They don’t come around very often, people like him. Artist? Scientist? Inventor? Maths brainbox? That relentlessly curious mind meant that he wanted to know about everything. It’s worth remembering that he was barred from going to school as a child because his parents weren’t married (big no no back then) and so he never learnt the ‘accepted’ way to think. Instead he just thought for himself – and with what great results! As he put it “Learning never exhausts the mind.”
