Leonardo Da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 in Anchiano. This was located near Vinci. (Levy, 40) Leonardo Da Vinci's scientific studies earned him the place as the first truly modern scientist. If Da Vinci hadn't been a really good artist, people wouldn't have noticed his talent at all. Leonardo Da Vinci did not follow what other scientists of his time had done. He made detailed observations of the world as he saw it. (Phillips, 118) Leonardo based only a small part of his work on classical discoveries. Leonardo formulated his own opinions and methods on how to discover things. He was usually always right. Things weren't as simple then as they are now. When Leonardo Da Vinci asked a simple question, he most likely took weeks, sometimes even months, just to come up with an experiment. (Phillips, 119)During Leonardo Da Vinci's observations of birds would include: observing the birds as they fly, drawing the birds in many different poses, observing them closely, and dissecting (taking them apart) to understand how they can fly. Leonardo Da Vinci, after all, by examining and examining information, would provide people with a basic understanding of what is happening. He later made a flying machine for humans. (Phillips, 119) Leonardo was one of the first scientists to study robotics. In 1495 Leonardo Da Vinci sketched the idea of ​​a mechanical robot. To some people and to Da Vinci the robot almost looked human-like. Leonardo Da Vinci had no idea what he had accomplished for this. His robot could move its head, open and close its jaw, move its arms and sit up and down. (Phillips, 174) Leonardo Da Vinci's robot was mainly composed of anatomy and geometry. When building his robot, Leonardo used proportions and... the central part of the paper... on top of the other, and the result is written on the other side of the line. This calculation is performed with a diamond shape where the remainders are written above and the divisor is written repeatedly below. Some people think it's not called a calculator. They think it's a machine to give fixed relationships. (Website 3)Da Vinci will remain a mystery, but only to those who do not truly understand his work. (Website 1) He died on 2 May 1519 in Cloux France. (Levy, 40)Work CitedLevy, Michael L., Nagle, Jeanne. The 100 most influential scientists of all time.
