The work of Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) continues to attract wide interest. Mathematicians, physicists, crystallographers, chemists, biologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, art historians, and specialists in computer graphics and visual communications attended this congress. The papers presented here in this illustrated volume confirm that Escher's works are not only good examples of the visualization of scientific problems but also stimulate real scientific research.

The Price does not Justify the Return

By JamesDaedalus on June 30, 2008

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

While I'm sure at the time of this conference, the works in this book were a bit more groundbreaking, there is little in the book that is outside the realm of modern mathematical models of symmetry and symmetry breaking.

It is fantastic, mind you. And it's nice to read some of these authors in their own 'speech' - for it is obvious that many of the papers collected were delivered to a crowd as part of a presentation. Therefore much of this collection is a messy copy of many unedited (spelling/sentence errors) and hand written notes.

It's great. But, I don't know that there is any work from this conference that was not published later, and, since that is the case, much of this is really available for free on-line at this point. There are some nice hand written black& white pictures by Penrose, but... for $70-100 dollars?

I wouldn't recommend this for an Escher fan, certainly, and only the most die-hard of math fans.
