Tilings: an evening excursion to the zoo
-
Tilings date way back in the worlds of decoration, architecture and
mathematics. They are nice to look at-often very beautiful-, they
come in all sorts of amazing varieties, and they offer a charming world
for puzzlers, artists, and amateurs alike. They have always been a rich
source of mathematical ideas, and this is no less so today where they
emerge as a meeting ground for some very interesting and challenging
contemporary ideas in mathematics and mathematical physics.
This will be an excursion into this attractive world with an
enthusiastic, if not very professional guide.
