Transformations in art and math.In art, transformations may be created in many ways, but in mathematics, transformations are functions of geometry geometry [Gr.,=earth measuring], branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of and relationships between points, lines, planes, and figures and with generalizations of these concepts. that involve congruent con·gru·entadj. 1. Corresponding; congruous. 2. Mathematics a. Coinciding exactly when superimposed: congruent triangles. b. shapes--shapes that are exactly the same in size and shape. The repetition REPETITION, construction of wills. A repetition takes place when the same testator, by the same testamentary instrument, gives to the same legatee legacies of equal amount and of the same kind; in such case the latter is considered a repetition of the former, and the legatee is entitled of congruent shapes, depending on their particular transformation, results in designs known as tessellations. A tessellation In surface modeling and solid modeling, the method used to represent 3D objects as a collection of triangles or other polygons. All surfaces, both curved and straight, are turned into triangles either at the time they are first created or in real time when they are rendered. is the tiling of a plane without any gaps or overlaps by a pattern of one or more congruent shapes. Though M. C. Escher Maurits Cornelis Escher (June 17 1898 – March 27 1972), usually referred to as M. C. Escher, was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs and mezzotints. is the artist most recognized for his work with tessellations, a number of contemporary artists are exploring these concepts, especially through art made on the computer.
