  2. Squaring the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaring_the_square

    A "simple" squared square is one where no subset of more than one of the squares forms a rectangle or square. When a squared square has a square or rectangular subset, it is "compound". In 1978, A. J. W. Duijvestijn discovered a simple perfect squared square of side 112 with the smallest number of squares using a computer search.

  3. Truncated square tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_square_tiling

    In geometry, the truncated square tiling is a semiregular tiling by regular polygons of the Euclidean plane with one square and two octagons on each vertex. This is the only edge-to-edge tiling by regular convex polygons which contains an octagon. It has Schläfli symbol of t {4,4} . Conway calls it a truncated quadrille, constructed as a ...

  4. Square tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_tiling

    In geometry, the square tiling, square tessellation or square grid is a regular tiling of the Euclidean plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {4,4}, meaning it has 4 squares around every vertex. Conway called it a quadrille. The internal angle of the square is 90 degrees so four squares at a point make a full 360 degrees.

  5. Fourth power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power

    Fourth power. In arithmetic and algebra, the fourth power of a number n is the result of multiplying four instances of n together. So: n4 = n × n × n × n. Fourth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its cube. Furthermore, they are squares of squares. Some people refer to n4 as n “ tesseracted ”, “ hypercubed ...

  6. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Completing the square is used in. solving quadratic equations, deriving the quadratic formula, graphing quadratic functions, evaluating integrals in calculus, such as Gaussian integrals with a linear term in the exponent, [1] finding Laplace transforms. [2][3] In mathematics, completing the square is often applied in any computation involving ...

  7. Order-8 square tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order-8_square_tiling

    This tiling represents a hyperbolic kaleidoscope of 4 mirrors meeting as edges of a square, with eight squares around every vertex. This symmetry by orbifold notation is called (*4444) with 4 order-4 mirror intersections. In Coxeter notation can be represented as [1 + ,8,8,1 + ], (*4444 orbifold) removing two of three mirrors (passing through ...

  9. Socolar tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socolar_tiling

    Pattern blocks contain the 3 tiles and 3 more. A Socolar tiling is an example of an aperiodic tiling, developed in 1989 by Joshua Socolar in the exploration of quasicrystals. [1] There are 3 tiles a 30° rhombus, square, and regular hexagon. The 12-fold symmetry set exist similar to the 10-fold Penrose rhombic tilings, and 8-fold Ammann ...
