Semi regular tessellation

A tiling of regular polygons (in two dimensions), polyhedra (three dimensions), or polytopes (n dimensions) is called a tessellation. Tessellations can be specified using a Schläfli symbol. The breaking up of self-intersecting polygons into simple polygons is also called tessellation (Woo et al. 1999), or more properly, polygon tessellation. There are exactly three regular tessellations composed of regular polygons symmetrically tiling the plane. Tessellations of the plane by two or...

Posted on June 17, 2019 Tessellations are one of my favorite math things. And art things. Artist M. C. Escher is considered a master of tessellations. Actually, that's why June 17 was chosen as World Tessellation Day; today is Escher's birthday! (See "Also on this date" below.) And tile things. Zellige terracotta tiles in Marrakech Tessellations are arrangements of shapes that fit together in a repeated pattern, with no gaps between shapes, and with no overlapping. Tessellations can even be…

The applet implements a hinged realization of Steinhaus' semi-regular plane tesselation #82. This is the third of the three hinged tessellations that sets loose the equlatarel triangles. The back-to-back triangles may now form a parallelogram

What is a tessellation ? A tessellation is simply covering a plane surface ( like floor , walls or ceiling) with 2 dimensional shapes wit...

Tessellation is a repeating pattern of the same shapes without any gaps or overlaps. These patterns are found in nature, used by artists and architects and studied for their mathematical properties.
