About this title

Synopsis

The work of Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) continues to attract wide interest. Mathematicians, physicists, crystallographers, chemists, biologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, art historians, and specialists in computer graphics and visual communications attended this congress. The papers presented here in this illustrated volume confirm that Escher's works are not only good examples of the visualization of scientific problems but also stimulate real scientific research.
