A regular tessellation is a highly symmetric, edge-to-edge tiling made up of regular polygons, all of the same shape. There are only three regular tessellations: those made up of equilateral triangles, squares, or regular hexagons. All three of these tilings are isogonal and monohedral.

The mathematical theory of tessellations also had an influence on the art world. Perhaps the most famous artist to use geometric grids in his work is M. C. Escher.Also referred to as the ?father of modern tessellations,? the Dutch artist created irregular, interlocking tiles, shaped like animals and other natural objects.

We will explore how tessellations are created and experiment with making some of our own as well. The topic of tessellations belongs to a field in mathematics called transformational geometry, which is a study of the ways objects can be moved while retaining the same shape and size. These movements are termed rigid motions and symmetries.

Science, nature and art also bubble over with tessellations. Like ?, e and ?, examples of these repeating patterns surround us every day, from mundane sidewalks, wallpapers, jigsaw puzzles and tiled floors to the grand art of Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, or the breathtaking tile work of the 14th century Moorish fortification, the Alhambra, in Granada, Spain.

The hexagon tessellation, shown in Figure 10.129 has six sides to the shape and three hexagons meet at the vertex. Thus, we would name this a 6.6.6. The triangle tessellation, shown in Figure 10.130 has six triangles meeting the vertex. Each triangle has three sides. Thus, we name this a 3.3.3.3.3.3.
