and was written up in Time magazine (Smith). Escher received world-wide recognition and reputation. Among his greatest admires were mathematical who recognized in his work principles (Smith).

Escher used various, of what one may call techniques within these broad areas. For instance, tessellations, polyhedra,…

He also came up with the Principle of the shortest path of light, that can stated that if the light ray propagates from a one point to another one within the same medium. The path that it takes is the shortest one,of a theory that was later confirmed and proved with the shortest path that was named the Extremum. There also “Hero Fountain” a fountain that operates the movement of the energy is also one of his creation. Heron was even the first to make a machine that opened with an windwheel. The…
