Tessellations

Tessellations: Mathematics, Art and Recreation aims to present a comprehensive introduction to tessellations (tiling) at a level accessible to non-specialists. 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. Additionally, it covers techniques, tips, and templates to facilitate the creation of mathematical art based on tessellations.

Techniques demonstrated in the book are aimed at making these designs more achievable. These are extremely popular with students and math hobbyists but are typically very challenging to execute. Going beyond planar designs, the book contains numerous nets of polyhedra and templates for applying
