2. Hexagonal tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_tiling

   Hexagonal tiling. In geometry, the hexagonal tiling or hexagonal tessellation is a regular tiling of the Euclidean plane, in which exactly three hexagons meet at each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of {6,3} or t{3,6} (as a truncated triangular tiling). English mathematician John Conway called it a hextille .

3. Tessellation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation

   A tessellation or tiling is the covering of a surface, often a plane, using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellation can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries. A periodic tiling has a repeating pattern. Some special kinds include regular tilings with regular ...

4. Pentagonal tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_tiling

   All four tilings are 2-isohedral. The chiral pairs of tiles are colored in yellow and green for one isohedral set, and two shades of blue for the other set. The pgg symmetry is reduced to p2 when the chiral pairs are considered distinct. The tiling by type 9 tiles is edge-to-edge, but the others are not. Each primitive unit contains eight tiles.

5. Tilings and patterns - Wikipedia

   Tilings and Patterns is such a book."" [8] E. Schulte wrote the entry in zbMATH Open: "I hope that this review conveys my impression that Tilings and Patterns is an excellent book on one of the oldest mathematical disciplines. Most certainly this book will be the 'bible' for this kind of geometry."

7. Einstein problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_problem

   Aperiodic tiling with "Tile(1,1)". The tiles are colored according to their rotational orientation modulo 60 degrees. [1] ( Smith, Myers, Kaplan, and Goodman-Strauss) In plane geometry, the einstein problem asks about the existence of a single prototile that by itself forms an aperiodic set of prototiles; that is, a shape that can tessellate space but only in a nonperiodic way.
