M.C. Escher: Art, Math, and Cinema

Abstract: Abstract Computer graphics can provide not only a pure visualization of many well-known phenomena but also provide a new way to study mathematical problems, and in particular, geometrical ones. It can be said that a new branch of mathematics has been developing in the last few years, called “Visual Mathematics” [6]. The great potential of computer graphics as a new exploratory medium was recognized by mathematicians soon after the technology became available. As display devices and programming methods grew more sophisticated, so did the depth and scope of applications of computer graphics to mathematical problems. This does not mean that there is no longer any room for handmade drawings and illustrations on mathematical topics by artists and mathematicians.
