Laser beams in a maze with octagonal and square cells
Yay, another maze type! This one, suggested in comments, is based on a particular so-called semi-regular tiling, made of regular octagons and squares. The tiling is also called truncated square tiling, or truncated quadrille. At the beginning of the simulation, 15000 laser beams, or parti

How to construct a Tetrahedron
How the greeks constructed the first platonic solid: the regular tetrahedron. Source: Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 13. In geometry, a tetrahedron also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners. Th

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

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

How to take the odd root of a negative integer, cube root
👉 Learn how to find the cube root of a number. To find the cube root of a number, we identify whether that number which we want to find its cube root is a perfect cube. This is done by identifying a number which when raised to the 3rd power gives the number which we want to find its cube r

Frank Morgan - Optimal Pentagonal Tilings - CoM May 2021
In 2001 Thomas Hales proved that hexagons provide the least-perimeter way to tile the plane with unit areas. Of course, among hexagons, the regular one is best. Similarly, the best quadrilateral is square and the best triangle is equilateral. But what is the best pentagonal tile? Unfortuna
