What is the connection between maths and the artist MC Escher?
MC Escher made a series of etchings using space filling shapes - a form of tessellation, although not uniform tessellation.
What is the last name of the mathematician who was credited with the discovering the connection between algebra and geometry?
It was Descartes.
What is the difference between a regular tessellation and a semi-regular tessellation?

How is tessellation mathematical?
Tessellation involves using copies of a shape, usually a polygon, to cover a plane surface without gaps or overlaps. The study of plane surfaces and regular shapes are part of geometry and, therefore, of mathematics.
What is a basic design element in a tessellation?
The work "tessellation" is derived from a tessella, a small cuboid clay tile which was used to make mosaics. In the context of tessellation, as the term is used in modern geometry, the basic element is a plane shape such that multiple copies of the shape will cover a plane without gaps or overlaps.
What is the connection between MC Esher and Euclid?
The artist MC Esher used Euclidian geometry in many of his works.
What is the difference between a tessellation and a regular tessellation?
A regular tessellation is a tessellation composed entirely of congruent polygons - meaning that ALL shapes in the tessellation are the same. Only 3 regular tessellations exist: equilateral triangles, regular hexagons, and squares. A tessellation is any pattern of shapes which can be repeated infinitely throughout a plane without leaving any "spaces" between the connected patterns and also without any of the shapes overlapping each other.
What is the difference between a regular tessellation and a semi regular one?
A regular tessellation uses only one regular polygon. A semi-regular tessellation is based on two or more regular polygons.
What is the difference between a semi regular and a regular tessellation?
A regular tessellation is based on only one regular polygonal shape. A semi-regular tessellation is based on two or more regular polygons.
How do you calculate weight of hexagon?
There is no connection between weight and shape; a hexagon can be any weight. Studied as a theoretical concept in geometry, they have no weight.
What defies 3D tessellation and if possible give an example?
Spheres defy 3D tessellation. There is no way to pack spheres so that there is no gap between them.
Is a triangle a tessellation?
Yes it is a tessellation.
