Square tilings | Honeycombs (geometry)
In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the square tiling honeycomb is one of 11 paracompact regular honeycombs. It is called paracompact because it has infinite cells, whose vertices exist on horospheres and converge to a single ideal point at infinity. Given by Schläfli symbol {4,4,3}, it has three square tilings, {4,4}, around each edge, and six square tilings around each vertex, in a cubic {4,3} vertex figure. A geometric honeycomb is a space-filling of polyhedral or higher-dimensional cells, so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical tiling or tessellation in any number of dimensions. Honeycombs are usually constructed in ordinary Euclidean ("flat") space, like the convex uniform honeycombs. They may also be constructed in non-Euclidean spaces, such as hyperbolic uniform honeycombs. Any finite uniform polytope can be projected to its circumsphere to form a uniform honeycomb in spherical space. (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 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

Regular tilings of the plane | Elementary Mathematics (K-6) Explained 37 | N J Wildberger
There are three famous regular tilings of the plane, and young people can happily learn about them. They are pleasing, made up of just one tile, which is itself a regular polygon, and have maximal symmetry. Curiously, the underlying tiles are the regular triangle (equilateral triangle), th

The theme is the tiling of flat plane by the hexagon which has the edges of 1,2,3,4,5,6 length, and that of other polygons of different edges. It is a very tough problem to make a tiling by a different edged polygon. Polygon tiling of plane often needs edges of the same lengths. It is well
