Aperiodic tilings | Pentagonal tilings
In geometry, the sphinx tiling is a tessellation of the plane using the "sphinx", a pentagonal hexiamond formed by gluing six equilateral triangles together. The resultant shape is named for its reminiscence to the Great Sphinx at Giza. A sphinx can be dissected into any square number of copies of itself, some of them mirror images, and repeating this process leads to a non-periodic tiling of the plane. The sphinx is therefore a rep-tile (a self-replicating tessellation). It is one of few known pentagonal rep-tiles and is the only known pentagonal rep-tile whose sub-copies are equal in size. (Wikipedia).

Domino tilings of squares | MegaFavNumbers
This video is part of the #MegaFavNumbers project. Domino tiling is a tessellation of the region in the Euclidean plane by dominos (2x1 rectangles). In this video we consider square tilings. Sequence, where each element is equal to the number of tilings of an NxN square, is growing reall

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

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
