Hyperbolic tilings | Uniform tilings
In hyperbolic geometry, a uniform hyperbolic tiling (or regular, quasiregular or semiregular hyperbolic tiling) is an edge-to-edge filling of the hyperbolic plane which has regular polygons as faces and is vertex-transitive (transitive on its vertices, isogonal, i.e. there is an isometry mapping any vertex onto any other). It follows that all vertices are congruent, and the tiling has a high degree of rotational and translational symmetry. Uniform tilings can be identified by their vertex configuration, a sequence of numbers representing the number of sides of the polygons around each vertex. For example, 7.7.7 represents the heptagonal tiling which has 3 heptagons around each vertex. It is also regular since all the polygons are the same size, so it can also be given the Schläfli symbol {7,3}. Uniform tilings may be regular (if also face- and edge-transitive), quasi-regular (if edge-transitive but not face-transitive) or semi-regular (if neither edge- nor face-transitive). For right triangles (p q 2), there are two regular tilings, represented by Schläfli symbol {p,q} and {q,p}. (Wikipedia).

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 circle and projective homogeneous coordinates (cont.) | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 7b

Parallels and the double triangle | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 18 | NJ Wildberger
We discuss Euclid's parallel postulate and the confusion it led to in the history of hyperbolic geometry. In Universal Hyperbolic Geometry we define the parallel to a line through a point, NOT the notion of parallel lines. This leads us to the useful construction of the double triangle of
