Mathematics / Advanced, Mathematics / Combinatorics, Mathematics / General, Tiling (Mathematics)
The definitive book on tiling and geometric patterns, this volume features 520 figures and over 100 tables. Accessible to anyone with a grasp of geometry, it offers illustrated examples of two-dimensional spaces covered with interlocking figures, plus related problems and references. Equally suitable for geometry courses and independent study. 1987 edition.
"Remarkable...It will surely remain the unique reference in this area for many years to come." Roger Penrose , Nature "...an outstanding achievement in mathematical education." Bulletin of The London Mathematical Society
"I am enormously impressed...Will be the definitive reference on tiling theory for many decades. Not only does the book bring together older results that have not been brought together before, but it contains a wealth of new material...I know of no comparable book." Martin Gardner
