Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

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 ...

The Mathematics Teacher (MT), an official journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, is devoted to improving mathematics instruction from grade 8-14 and supporting teacher education ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Tessellations are created when a shape is repeated over and over again, covering a plane without any ...

We observe stationary random tessellations $X=\{\Xi _{n}\}_{n\geq 1}$ in ${\Bbb R}^{d}$ through a convex sampling window W that expands unboundedly and we determine ...
