C Escher M C
1,089 wordsThough M. C. Escher contended that he knew virtually nothing about mathematics, even having gone as far as to declare that he was absolutely innocent of training or knowledge in the exact sciences, (Schattschneider 67), his art work commonly incorporates the use of many recognized elements of science and mathematics. It has been argued that Escher's natural accessibility and his popularity with young art patrons is due to the Escher's use of symmetry, his use of metamorphosis, and his focus on r...

Dimensional Space Straight Line
1,540 words... stability is most intriguing: that the Tree of Reality is a multidimensional fractal. Fractals (to make a long story short) arise from unbounded convoluted lower-dimensional curves filling a higher-dimensional space. The fractals we are familiar with are formed using lines (sometimes these are contour lines defining the properties of certain regions when a function is applied to them), which are 1 D objects, but partially fill a sheet of paper, which is a 2 D space. The 3 D volumes of the Ma...

Population Growth Population Increases
1,455 wordsModeling Population Growth First of all, lets give definition to population growth. The term basically explains how the population changes with time (decreases or increases).
