Lecture
This lecture explores the historical significance of Leonardo's automaton, focusing on the intricate design of the Lion automaton and its programming concept. It also delves into the evolution of automata, from Leonardo's self-propelled cart to modern automobiles, and discusses the role of instructions and debugging in programming. The lecture further examines the use of drawings in conveying knowledge and the roots of equations, as demonstrated by John Rowning's machine. It concludes with Newton and Desaguliers' experiments on light refraction, emphasizing the importance of sketches in scientific exploration.
