Logarithmic image transformation
Submitted by Larry on Fri July 21st, 2006 at 01:07:18 PM EDT
Escher!Or in plain English - pretty pictures. As a huge MC Escher fan (who isn't?) here's the math behind some the infinities:
In 2003, a group of mathematicians at Leiden University, led by Prof. Hendrik Lenstra succeeded in unraveling the mathematical structure of the image. Once this structure was known, they could 'complete' the image by filling in the famous white spot with the help of a computer algorithm.

A summary of their method was published in a paper , and received a lot of acclaim, not only in academic circles, but also in the general press.
So can someone explain to me how I would make my own in English? Sounds like the type of thing that can get fun very quickly..
