Book Research

As I looked up books for our research project, I was doubting that I would find a book that was going to be key in me making my point; I did not think I would find a book that would help my readers understand what I was wanting to say. However, it was not so when I looked through my search results. The two books that I chose out of the search results were Math and Art: An Introduction to Visual Mathematics and The World of M.C. Escher. The first book is very obvious to what it is about; the second one is about a very influential artist, known for his inspiration in the world of art and in math as well. Those are couple of reasons why I chose to find these two instead of other books that came up in my search results. Another reason, probably the main reason, was when I went to find the books. I wrote down 6 call numbers just to have enough books to choose from and even more so, in case any of those books would not help my research project. These two books were the most intriguing and interesting; they were books that I would like to check out even if I did not have to for our research project. 

I chose The World of M.C. Escher as the book that would be better to use for my topic. This is because I feel that M.C. Escher’s influence is so great and so inspiring to both artist and mathematicians. That is also how I would use this book to answer my research question.
