When mathematics meets aesthetics: Tessellations as a precise tool for solving complex problems
Short excerpt below. Click through to read at the original source.
In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface covered by one or more geometric shapes with no gaps and no overlaps, tessellations can also be used as a precise tool for solving […]
