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.

How did MC got into math?
If you mean MC Escher, he didn't really get into math. His understanding of it was mostly visual and intuitive.
How has M.C. Escher changed as an artist and what does mathematics have to do with it?
M.C. Escher evolved from a traditional graphic artist to a pioneer of mathematical art, integrating complex geometrical concepts into his work. His fascination with symmetry, tessellations, and impossible constructions reflects a deep engagement with mathematical principles, particularly in geometry and topology. Escher's art challenges perceptions of space and perspective, creating visually striking patterns that invite viewers to explore the relationship between art and mathematics. Ultimately, his unique blend of creativity and mathematical thinking has left a lasting impact on both fields.
An art teacher has 63 erasers. A math teacher has 21 erasers. How many times as great is the art teachers number of erasers as the math teachers?
To find how many times greater the number of erasers the art teacher has compared to the math teacher, divide the number of erasers the art teacher has by the number of erasers the math teacher has. This is calculated as 63 ÷ 21, which equals 3. Therefore, the art teacher has 3 times as many erasers as the math teacher.
How old was escher when he produced his first piece?
His first work of art was created in 1922. He was born in 1898. He would have been 24 at the time.

How did Escher use transformations in art?
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.
