Description for Miles of Tiles (Student Mathematical Library, Vol. 1) (Student Mathematical Library, V. 1)
Paperback. Tries to display the value (and joy!) of starting from a mathematically amorphous problem and combining ideas from diverse sources to produce new and significant mathematics - mathematics unforeseen from the motivating problem. This book focuses on aperiodic tilings; the best-known example is the 'kite and dart' tiling. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 128 pages, illustrations, references, index. BIC Classification: PBCD; PDE; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 217 x 140 x 7. Weight in Grams: 172.
'In this book, we try to display the value (and joy!) of starting from a mathematically amorphous problem and combining ideas from diverse sources to produce new and significant mathematics - mathematics unforeseen from the motivating problem...' - from the Preface. The common thread throughout this book is aperiodic tilings; the best-known example is the 'kite and dart' tiling. This tiling has been widely discussed, particularly since 1984 when it was adopted to model quasicrystals. The presentation uses many different areas of mathematics and physics to analyze the new features of such tilings.Although many people are aware of the existence ... Read more
