OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A tessellation or tiling of the plane is a collection of plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps. One may also speak of tessellations of the parts of the plane or of other surfaces. Generalizations to higher dimensions are also possible. Tessellations frequently appeared in the art of M. C. Escher. Tessellations are seen throughout art history, from ancient architecture to modern art. In Latin, tessella is a small cubical piece of clay, stone or glass used to make mosaics. The word tessella means small square (from tessera , square, which in its turn is from the Greek word for four ). It corresponds with the everyday term tiling which refers to applications of tessellations, often made of glazed clay. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Miriam T. Timpledon , Susan F.
