Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the ...
Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...
To most people, “symmetry” means the bilateral symmetry exhibited by, say, a butterfly, or the human face. That is, if you take a picture of a butterfly and draw a straight line down the middle of the ...
Reflective symmetry is when a shape can be folded in half, with either side of the fold being a mirror image of the other. Rotational symmetry is when a shape can be rotated and it still looks the ...
