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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActivities and worksheets are spread throughout the book, and examples of real-world tessellations are also provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces the mathematics of tessellations, including symmetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers polygonal, aperiodic, and non-Euclidean tilings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains tutorial content on designing and drawing Escheresque tessellations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights numerous examples of tessellations in the real world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivities for individuals or classes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilled with templates to aid in creating Escheresque tessellations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreats special topics like tiling rosettes, fractal tessellations, and decoration of tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517565710710,"sku":"9780367185978","price":208.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37565313_f6f4d51d-bdeb-4368-b9da-ce692f7dbc25.jpg?v=1762180649","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367185978-tessellations","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
