Aperiodic tilings | Discrete geometry

Pinwheel tiling

In geometry, pinwheel tilings are non-periodic tilings defined by Charles Radin and based on a construction due to John Conway.They are the first known non-periodic tilings to each have the property that their tiles appear in infinitely many orientations. (Wikipedia).

O. Paris-Romaskevich - Triangle tiling billiards

Tiling billiards is a dynamical system in which a billiard ball moves through the tiles of some fixed tiling in a way that its trajectory is a broken line, with breaks admitted only at the boundaries of the tiles. One can think about this system as a movement of the refracted light. In thi

Cindy Lawrence - Play Truchet: Truchet Tiling to Engage the Public with Mathematics - G4G13 Apr 2018

In 1704, Sébastien Truchet considered all possible patterns formed by tilings of a square tile split along the diagonal into two triangles. This original tiling was modified to create a single tile consisting of two circular arcs centered at opposite corners of a square, resulting in an ae

MAKING AN INTERACTIVE PENROSE TILING | Math in Dreams (PS4) | ND

The Penrose Tiling has always been a mathematical tiling that I have struggled to wrap my brain around, but I realized I might be able to build the Penrose Tiling in Dreams (PS4) instead of attempting to draw it by hand. With a bit of tinkering and after realizing building it by hand was g

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A MATHEMATICAL TILING: introducing the basics of math tiling | Nathan D.

I go through the basics behind the question, "what is the definition of a mathematical tiling". While introducing the basics of math tiling objects, we introduce the definitions of a partition, topological disc, and a prototile. By introducing these ideas and definitions, we are able to an

Introduction to Tiling Theory

In this mini-lecture, we explore tilings found in everyday life and give the mathematical definition of a tiling. In particular, we think about: (i) traditional Islamic tilings; (ii) floor, wallpaper, pavement, and architectural tilings; (iii) the three regular tilings using either equilat
