| Description | Tessellations are all around us, but most people aren't fully aware of how integral a part of our world they are. Real-world tessellations can be divided into two main categories, natural and synthetic. Tessellations in nature are often not very regular, and no real-world tessellation strictly meets the mathematical definition of a tessellation. Recall that a tessellation is a collection of shapes that fit together without overlaps or gaps to cover the infinite mathematical plane. In a real-world tessellation, the lines or gaps between the tiles will always have a finite width. The individual tiles in what is nominally a repeating tessellation will never be exactly like one another. No real-world tessellation can be infinite in extent, and no planar surface in the real world is perfectly flat.78 Book Name: Tessellations |
