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

Tillfälligt slut
Fermats stora sats, pi, fibonaccital och Pascals triangel? Visst vet du vad det är? Jag menar, du har säkert hört talas om dem. Men kan du trollbinda dina middagsgäster med berättelsen om hur Fermats stora sats till slut bevisades? Och kan du sprida dina kunskaper om pi till desserten? Matematik på 30 sekunder hjälper dig att få koll på talen genom att korta ner de komplexa matematiska teorierna till två sidor: 300 ord och en bild. Vill du förstå den avgörande skillnaden mellan potenstal och logaritmer eller varför det finns olika nivåer av oändlighet så är det här rätt bok – den tänder även en gnista hos alla som inte precis brann för matten i skolan. Spännande beskrivningar av historiens främsta matematiska genier illustreras av fina bilder i denna fascinerande bok. Läs i din egen takt och upptäck att matematiken faktiskt kan vara helt magisk och inte alls seg och trist.
