Tessellations incorporate art into mathematical patterns.
Escher was fascinated by topography, the study of surfaces, a branch of mathematics. In many of his works, he uses the concept of the Penrose triangle, or "impossible triangle," first designed by the mathematician Roger Penrose. There is also a relationship to the Möbius strip, the single sided loop of material. Escher also used a technique that mathematician study called tesselation.

If you mean MC Escher, he didn't really get into math. His understanding of it was mostly visual and intuitive.
It isn't.
His first work of art was created in 1922. He was born in 1898. He would have been 24 at the time.

Escher on Escher is a book comprised of several lectures he was planning on giving in the US and Canada. The Graphic Work of M.C. Escher and the Works of Art are two more.

In my view Escher is a very particular kind of artist. He has found a niche for himself, which, I think, has not been an important influence on mainstream art.
