M.C. Escher
A curious tiling of black and white triangles with curved sides, enclosed within a circle, each triangle alternately colored progressively getting smaller as they approached the circles perimeter. This is the image that inspired M.C. Escher to create four pieces of art called the Circle Limit Series. Even the best artists get there inspiration from somewhere. M.C. Escher got his inspiration from H.S.M.Coxeter, who was a famous mathematician at the Univ
Escher was a talented artists who's work is still admired today. It's a drawing showing a waterfall that never ends yet it goes in a circle, it doesn't get pushed back up to the top, however, it falls there. An example of this is the Waterfall. The idea of curved geometry is explained well through this example; If you draw any triangle on sheet of paper and add up the three angles, the result is always 180 degrees. Most people will pick up a calculator to solve -25*-4 although the solution is an easy one (100). Our society has a tendency to rely on them a lot even when they are not needed. This however is not true on a curved surface, here the angles always add up to less than 180 degrees. In more recent day's mathematicians, computer scientists, and others have a variety of speedy computer-based methods for automatically printing the hyperbolic patters that Escher was able to draw himself. This is called a hyperbolic pattern. Many of Escher's pieces of work stems off from basic principles of curved geometry. Escher was a very talented Dutch artist who's work would only be attempted by computer these days.
