En este estudio, se examina la subestructura matemática de las obras del artista gráfico neerlandés M.C. Escher. Los efectos matemáticos en las obras de Escher pueden clasificarse en ciertos temas. Los más importantes pueden ordenarse como la división regular del plano, las paradojas visuales y las ficciones sobre la estructura de la perspectiva y la topología geométrica. Para cada uno de estos temas, se puede decir que Escher está influenciado...

Description
This text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students focuses on key notions and results in functional analysis. Extending beyond the boundaries of Hilbert and Banach space theory, it explores aspects of analysis relevant to the solution of partial differential equations. The three-part treatment begins with topological vector spaces and spaces of functions, progressing to duality and spaces of distribution, and concluding with tensor products...
