Math underlies many of the art pieces M.C. Escher created, because he was fascinated with the idea of depicting infinity in various ways, producing infinitely repeatable patterns known as ...

grounded in rigorous mathematics, that could predict patterns in realistic scenarios. Notably, Tobasco’s work suggests that wrinkling, in its many guises, can be seen as the solution to a geometric ...
