Group members should consult sites on the Internet devoted to tessellations, or tilings, and present a report that expands upon the information in this section. Include a discussion of cultures that have used tessellations on fabrics, wall coverings, baskets, rugs, and pottery, with examples. Include the Alhambra, a fourteenth-century palace in Granada, Spain, in the presentation, as well as works by the artist M. C. Escher. Discuss the various symmetries (translations, rotations, reflections) associated with tessellations. Demonstrate how to create unique tessellations, including Escher-type patterns. Other than creating beautiful works of art, are there any practical applications of tessellations?

Solution Summary: The author explains that a tessellation is formed by repeating the shape or pattern in order to cover the surface so that no gaps or overlaps exist.
