...s the Ethiopian system of multiplication. The third programme introduces the art of M.S. Escher. It explores the increasingly sophisticated mathematical elements in his art from early woodcuts, tessellations, visual illusions like the Myopia Strip, to later work that anticipates modern cosmology.
