Tilings, Escher ... Marvelous Math

No have to do exactly origami, but also has left and can dive from another perspective, in the wonderful world of geometry. Tessellation derives from the Latin word "Tessella", which is how denominated miban the Romans to the stone that formed a mosaic (in English: Flagstone ). Tilings (in English: Tessellation ) are repeated in a plane polygons or combinations thereof, which together make beautiful and harmonious images or shapes. The Dutch artist MC Escher , took the world of tilings the scope of the drawing, becoming an artist who claimed he was "closer to the mathematicians to the artists." Escher is an artist Dign or know , originality is such that it seems no one close to your particular style, his work is mysterious, evocative and inspiring philosophical and matic mate. Here you can see some pictures explained. In the beginning, one of the themes that appealed to Escher and plunged into new more complex searches, was the "deception" which is draw. 3-dimensional representation on a plane of 2, is a trick that fools the mind or the eye "(in French: Trompe l'oeil ). The observation of old designs of trompe l'oeil, which used to draw in older homes, led him to draw r images that at first glance are very real, but in a second Look buildings are perceived as impossible s be conducted in 3 dimensions.

In the field of tilings of paper, worth checking out in detail the tessellation is Mélisande and the latest developments in your fotolog . This is another website dedicated the same subject and in which you can subscribe.

In the educational sphere, it is possible to study the issue and do work with computer programs. Here you can see a sample of students in grade 5 in a school in the U.S. "? over here and another in the same direction.

Looking for information for this post, I found a very interesting book likely to be material and that is a good approach to support Mathematics the Wonderful, which is as entitled.
