I learned from HUM111 and now HUM112 that the some philosophers are interested in mathematics differently. They interpreted mathematics differently. To exemplify, Plato thinks that mathematics is a powerful tool for thinking and questioning. Plato discussed Mathematics in Republic. I found an interesting article. You can see it below.

When examining Mathematics in Renaissance, mathematics is core of the art. The poetries, architecture, and literature has mathematics.
As I learned from On Painting, Alberti interprets mathematical perspective as a useful method for understanding painting. Alberti demonstrates the relationship between mathematics and optics. The eye and object gain different perspective with the aid of this relationship. You can see this architecture in the picture below.
If mathematics did not exist, poetry and literature may not exist. Mathematics has a huge contribution to renaissance.
