What is … an isohedral tiling?

This page hosts information on Michael Joos' talk "What is … an isohedral tiling?" at the "What is …?" seminar. The talk will take place on Friday, June 6, 1:00pm at the BMS Loft at Urania. This talk will help you better understand the talk by Craig Kaplan, which will start at 2pm.

Abstract

A tiling is a tessellation of the plane and an Isohedral Tiling is a tiling in which all tiles are related by a symmetry of the tiling. One can categorize these tilings into 93 types. The definition leads to a compact symbolic encoding. We will focus on some computational aspects of isohedral tilings and also have a look at an implementation.
