I almost wish I hadn't gone down that rabbit-hole — and yet — and yet — it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life!

Art of mathematics or mathematics of art!
my friend sopan posted this awesome link on facebook. its about the art work, mathematical art actually, of Maurits Cornelis Escher who explored many cool mathematical ideas through his works.
both mathematics and art is about symmetry.... when something is symmetrical...it is beautiful... in fact nature gave us symmetry to study and asymmetry to explore to find out the symmetry behind it...

If you like Escher then you may want to check out the Bridges Mathart conference website for it has a lot of work in this vein.
Cheers,

it's nice that you liked the site :)
This site has lots of interesting topics. Thanks Sheetal.

thanks for the link!...
I respectfully disagree. I see art having little if nothing to do with symmetry in fact most visual artists cringe when they see it.
Peace,
Kaz
