***** Gigafloppingly Brilliant TESSELLATIONS *****
Mathematicians define "tessellate" as covering a plane with a pattern,
and it is a concept that interests scientists and artists, as well as mathematicians.

Totally Tessellated

Don't skip over this opening splash screen too quickly. Take a few moments to scroll through the image gallery by clicking on the tiny Load New Images link. It has a section on M.C. Escher, the Dutch artist and father of modern-day tessellations.

What is a Tessellation?

This Math Forum page is a great introduction to tessellations for those who know some geometry.
