A tessellation or tiling of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries. … A tiling that lacks a repeating patternRead More →

A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps. Another word for a tessellation is a tiling. What is the math behind tessellations? In a tessellation, whenever two or more polygons meet at a point (or vertex), theRead More →
