The object of this book is to develop the coloring theory for plane ornaments, that is, for periodic tilings of the Euclidean plane. Such tilings derive from the ornamental art of diverse cultures: Sumerian cone mosaics, Egyptian tomb paintings, Chinese window lattices, Greek bo…

"Mathematics is often seen as a collection of subjects, each learned one at a time. Although those fields rarely overlap, they are all subsumed under the heading of mathematics as they all rely on rigorous logical deductions from a set of axioms. But in fact, there are numerous …

Tiling theory provides a wonderful opportunity to illustrate both the beauty and utility of mathematics. It has all the relevant ingredients: there are stunning pictures; open problems can be stated without having to spend months providing the necessary background; and there is …

Ziel des Buches ist das Studium von Symmetrien und Parkettierungen, die Künstler und Mathematiker schon seit langer Zeit interessieren. Berühmte Beispiele sind die von den Arabern in der Alhambra geschaffenen Werke und die Bilder des holländischen Malers Maurits Escher. Die Math…
