Wouldn’t it be exciting if Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown got his hands on the story of renaissance mathematician Fra Luca de Pacioli?

The Last Supper may have been a mere snack if Luca hadn’t helped with the painting’s dimensions. Pacioli guided his friend in seeing clearly how to fit the treasured work onto the awkward confines of a monastery dining room wall, above a doorway.

His 1494 treatise on how accounting works laid down the lines that have been used to shed light on business ever since.
