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.\nThe 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.\nActivities and worksheets are spread throughout the book, and examples of real-world tessellations are also provided.\nKey features\nIntroduces the mathematics of tessellations, including symmetry\nCovers polygonal, aperiodic, and non-Euclidean tilings\nContains tutorial content on designing and drawing Escheresque tessellations\nHighlights numerous examples of tessellations in the real world\nActivities for individuals or classes\nFilled with templates to aid in creating Escheresque tessellations\nTreats special topics like tiling rosettes, fractal tessellations, and decoration of tiles\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0367185962\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.0367185962.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fathauer, Robert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Has a sturdy binding with some shelf wear.
