Synopsis

Presented as a definitive reference on tilings and geometric patterns, this volume brings together 520 figures and more than 100 tables to support its visual approach. It sets out numerous graphic examples of two-dimensional spaces covered with interlocking figures, alongside related problems and references.

Chapters are designed to stand alone rather than be read in strict order, and each closes with notes and further references. The first seven chapters are positioned for classroom use, while the final four offer material for browsing, including surveys of colour patterns, groups of colour symmetry, and tilings by polygons. Suitable for geometry courses or independent study, it is geared towards students, professional mathematicians, and readers with an interest in patterns and shapes, including artists, architects, and crystallographers.
