7.6 Conclusion of the Mathematical Art.
Mathematical art is the one that represents mathematical concepts, or uses mathematics strictly, especially highlighting the use of geometry and algorithms, in addition to impossible objects, sometimes using computer programs. Among its themes is the use of geometry, both in architecture and in sculpture and even in painting, algorithmic art, with techniques such as fractal modeling, iterated function systems, cellular automata, tessellations, polar inversion and numerical calculation, between others, being an art generally generated by computer, although controlling the process. Finally, impossible objects are also a subject in itself. It is the most abstract art of all these genres, and sometimes, difficult to understand and assimilate.
