M.C Escher

Today I found a very interesting book today during my research called The Magic of Mathematics - Discovering the Spell of Mathematics. I thought this would be a great starting point for my literature review as it has many examples of mathematical artworks. It focuses not only on art and maths, but it also focuses on many other links such as the relation between maths and nature. But then again, who is to judge whether nature is art or not? In this book I stumbled across an artist by the name of M.C Escher. His art looked very familiar to what James had presented to me in the second(i think) maths/art lecture. I went to the library and did some research as to what books he had released. The most interesting books that most related to me were called Exploring the Infinite, Visions of Symmetry, and the Magic Mirror of M.C Escher. I ordered the books in and started reading the first one available to me. On the first page I found many great ideas and quotes. I am finally beginning to start my maths trail. And I have a feeling I am on the right track.
