Tessellations: Mathematics, Art and Recreation aims to present a
comprehensive introduction to tessellations (tiling) at a level
accessible to non-specialists. Additionally, it covers techniques,
tips, and templates to facilitate the creation of mathematical art
based on tessellations. Inclusion of special topics like spiral
tilings and tessellation metamorphoses allows the reader to explore
beautiful and entertaining math and art. The book has a particular
focus on 'Escheresque' designs, in which the individual tiles are
recognizable real-world motifs. These are extremely popular with
students and math hobbyists but are typically very challenging to
execute. Techniques demonstrated in the book are aimed at making
these designs more achievable. Going beyond planar designs, the
book contains numerous nets of polyhedra and templates for applying
Escheresque designs to them. Activities and worksheets are spread
throughout the book, and examples of real-world tessellations are
also provided. Key features Introduces the mathematics of
tessellations, including symmetry Covers polygonal, aperiodic, and
non-Euclidean tilings Contains tutorial content on designing and
drawing Escheresque tessellations Highlights numerous examples of
tessellations in the real world Activities for individuals or
classes Filled with templates to aid in creating Escheresque
tessellations Treats special topics like tiling rosettes, fractal
tessellations, and decoration of tiles
