Rotations and Notations

Jane Eisenstein and Arthur L. Loeb

A chapter in M.C. Escher’s Legacy, 2003, pp 334-342 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract M.C. Escher and A.L. Loeb first met just prior to the International Congress of Crystallography held in Cambridge, U.K. in 1960, at which Escher had been invited to give an address. [13], [14]. Escher’s account of that meeting, in which his lecture was standing-room only, can be found in [1, p. 101]. At that congress, Loeb presented a paper which evoked from Elizabeth Wood, who headed the U.S. delegation, the following comment, “I had always wanted to give a paper called To Hell with the Unit Cell,’ and now vou have done it!”
