The Istanbul Museum of the History of Science and Technology in Islam as a Source of Inspiration for Modern High School Education: An Instrument for Finding Reflection Points

Henk Hietbrink

The Museums of Science and Technology in Islam in Frankfurt and Istanbul exhibit many mathematical and optical instruments. One of them is an instrument to solve Alhazens problem to find reflection points in curved mirrors. The instrument is attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. This article is about mathematics, geometry and optics but also about the history of optics (Ibn al-Haytham). The article also looks at the true inventor of the instrument displayed in the museum and what Leonardo da Vinci really did.

Modern Lise Eğitimi için Bir İlham Kaynağı Olarak İstanbul İslam Bilim ve Teknoloji Tarihi Müzesi: Yansıma Noktalarını Bulan Bir Araç

Henk Hietbrink

Frankfurt ve İstanbul’daki İslam Bilim ve Teknoloji Tarihi Müzelerinde matematik ve optik alanlarına dair birçok alet sergilenmektedir. Bunlardan birisi de el-Hazen’in kavisli aynalardaki yansıma noktalarını bulmasını sağlayan bir alettir. Bu alet Leonardo da Vinci’ye atfedilmektedir. Bu makale matematik, geometri ve optik hakkında olmasına rağmen aynı zamanda optik tarihiyle de ilgilidir (İbn el-Heysem). Makale aynı zamanda bu aletin müzede gösterilen asıl mucidinin kim olduğu ve Leonardo da Vincinin de gerçekte ne icat ettiği üzerinde duracaktır.


Keywords: Matematiksel Aletler, yansıma noktaları, Ibn el-Heysem, Leonardo Da Vinci
