Tessellation - A tessellation or tiling of the plane is a collection of plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps. One may also speak of tessellations of the parts of the plane or of other surfaces.
Tessellated pavement - Tessellated pavement is a rare sedimentary rock formation that occurs on some ocean shores, so named because it fractures into square blocks that appear like tiles, or tessellations. It is formed when rock that has cracked through plate tectonic movement of the Earth's crust is modified by sand and wave action.
Wilhelm Magnus - Wilhelm Magnus (February 5, 1907, Berlin, Germany – October 15, 1990) was a mathematician. He made important contributions in combinatorial group theory, Lie algebras, mathematical physics, elliptic functions, and the study of tessellations.
Order-3 icosahedral honeycomb - The order-3 icosahedral honeycomb is one of four regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs) in hyperbolic 3-space.
Order-5 cubic honeycomb - The order-5 cubic honeycomb is one of four space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs) in hyperbolic 3-space.
