Adams, Colin C. ‘Tilings of Space by Knotted Tiles’. The Mathematical Intelligencer Vol. 17, No. 2, 1995, pp. 41-51 (16 December 2011)

Academic. Note that I have other articles by Adams, from his ‘Mathematical Bent’ column, but these are somewhat frivolous in nature, and so not included here.

Akiyama, Shigeki. ‘A Note on Aperiodic Ammann Tiles’. Discrete & Computational Geometry (2012) 48: pp. 702-710. (2 November 2012)

Largely of an academic nature throughout, of which although there are plenty of largely accessible diagrams, the tone of the paper is way beyond me. Of no practical use.

.Alexanderson, Gerald. L. ‘Award for Distinguished Service to Professor Murray Klamkin’. American Mathematical Monthly pp. 3-4, January 1988 (6 March 2013)

Tribute and praise for Klamkin. General interest as to Klamkin.

Alexanderson was a noted mathematician, although his work, save for one (joint) article (Kürschak’s Tile), is largely peripheral to tiling. Wikipedia: Gerald Lee Alexanderson (1933–2020) was an American mathematician. He was the Michael & Elizabeth Valeriote Professor of Science at Santa Clara University, and in 1997–1998 was president of the Mathematical Association of America. He was also president of The Fibonacci Association from 1980 to 1984.

Alexanderson, G. L. and K. Seydal. ‘Kürschak’s Tile’. Mathematical Gazette 62 1978 pp. 192-196

From a reference in Tilings and Patterns (Note that this is the only such reference to Alexander’s works here). Semi-popular.  

Alexanderson, Gerald L. and John E. Wetzel. ‘Simple Partitions of Space’. Mathematics Magazine Vol. 51, No. 4 September 1978 (6 March 2013)

Of an academic nature. Perhaps the title deceived me into thinking it would be simple…Of no practical use.

Albright, Thomas. ‘Visuals-Escher’. Rolling Stone. 52. p. 40, February 21, 1970 (28 March 2011)

An (early US) in-depth essay on Escher, although of a single page of the magazine, in broadsheet format. Various prints, too numerous to list, are discussed, although these is nothing here in the way of originality. Illustrated with three prints Liberation, Self Portrait and Waterfall.

Aljamili, Ahmad M. and Ebad Banassi. ‘Grid Method Classification of Islamic Geometry Patterns’. In M. Sarfraz eds Geometric Modelling: Techniques, Applications, Systems and Tools. Springer Dordecht, 2004. 233-254.

Popular account, although as with much Islamic articles of a similar nature, has not led me to any new insights.

Alvarez, Josefina and Christina Varsavsky. ‘Tilings’. Function Volume 28 Part 4 pp. 94-102, August 2004. (15 January 2015)

On convex pentagons, among other tilings. As an aside, this (Australian) journal only came to my attention to as late as 15 January 2015, it having begun as far back in 1977!

Amiot, B. ‘Mémoire sur les Polygones Réguliers’. Nouvelles Annales de Mathématiques, pp. 264-278. 1844 (23 April 2015)

From a reference in Bradley. Disappointing, not a single diagram! Academic throughout.

Arabic tessellations with words.

Ammann, Robert, Branko Grünbaum and G. C. Shephard. ‘Aperiodic Tiles’. Discrete & Computational Geometry 8: pp. 1-25 1992 (25 May 2012)

Academic, although written in a largely popular manner. I strongly suspect that although Ammann fronts this (having discovered the tile in question), the writing is essentially from Grünbaum and Shephard. Essentially of a ‘stepped’ tile, with an elliptical ‘key’. As such, not of any real interest.

Andraos, John. ‘Named Optical Illusions’. Self published 1-25

A listing of named sources and the journal in which they appeared. Useful.

André, Jacques and Denis Girou. ‘Father Truchet, the typographic point, the Romain du roi, and tilings’. TUGboat, Volume 20, 1999, No. 1 pp. 8-14 (25 August 2016)

In short, a brief discussion on Truchet, of typographic point and tilings, all of a popular level, of interest.

Andrews, Noam. ‘Albrecht Dürer’s personal Underweysung der Messung’. Word & Image, Vol. 32, No. 4 October-December 2016, 409-429 (24 June 2019)

The premise is that of  Durer’s series of ‘...handwritten revisions and drawn additions by Albrecht Durer in his own copy of the treatise...’. Notable is that of further tilings, p 416. I might just add that I was wholly unaware of these additional tilings until I had found this reference! Further, the article gives a link to a scanned copy of the corrections, which is mighty convenient! Minor spiral references of 2020 interest include pp. 412 and 414. Overall, I must say I am most impressed with Andrews’ scholarship here, and who incidentally is a new name to me. Taylor & Francis online gives:

Noam Andrews holds a PhD in History of Science from Harvard University, and is currently a Jane and Morgan Whitney Fellow in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is also a trained architect and has held fellowships in Villa I Tatti and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin. His forthcoming themed exhibition on the relationship between mathematics and aesthetics (co-curated with Jennifer Farrell, Associate Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints) will be exhibited at the Robert Wood Johnson, Jr. Gallery at the Metropolitan Museum in spring 2017.

Angrist, S. W. ‘Perpetual Motion Machines'. Scientific American, Vol. 218, no. 1 January 1968, pp. 114-122 (21 April 2020)

Escher's print Waterfall used, p.114 (full page, with commentary) to illustrate perpetual motion machines. No other mention is made of Escher in the text. Oddly, the article itself gives a date of 1967.

N.B. The chronology discrepancy between date of publication and owning is explained by the journal appearing before its stated date.

Escher’s prints in Life’s rich patterns’, Circle Limit IV and a fragment of Metamorphosis shown p 28. No mention of Escher beyond the caption! A lifelike tessellation tutorial in ‘Art by numbers’ p.30. Nothing of any great significance here, pitched at a child level.

From Andrew Crompton’s reference in his article Lifelike Tessellations; only a single page is of interest this is the only tessellation, and even this is not clearly of the premise. The artist is apparently Nellie Syrett. Various authors, of a collection of writings.

A Canadian pedagogy magazine pitched at school age children. Varied content as regards Escher, such as analysis of how Escher created his tessellations and a series of tutorials of how to create Escher-like tessellations, not always good advice. Not of any significance.

From a reference in a letter of Cornelius van. Roosevelt in The New York Times. A speculative purchase resulting in a major disappointment! Given the title of the journal, I was under the impression there was going to be an worthy article on Escher, but of which in a sense there is an article, but it cannot be described as worthy - all it does is repeat select text and illustrations from The Graphic Work!. There is nothing in the remotest sense ‘original’! Prints include Hand with Reflecting Globe, Puddle, Reptiles, Metamorphosis Magic Mirror, Relativity, Descending ascending Belvedere, Waterfall.

Interesting in many ways: 1. It uses the term ‘semi regular’ as used elsewhere. 2. It gives an interesting ‘Saigon paving’. 3. Some fearsome Cairo mathematics!

Broos, C. ‘M. C. Escher’. In Holland-a century of form and colour. Netherlands National Tourist Office. No date, but I have a 1963 reference for this (17 January 2015)

A minor ‘article’ (apparently not previously referenced) on Escher in the context of Dutch painters of the 20th century in a booklet in association with the Netherlands National Tourist Office. This uses (‘pp. 22-23’) three of Escher’s prints: Day and Night, Other World, Waterfall, with a general commentary on Escher, albeit not on the works above, and what text there is most brief and of no new insight.

Presumably ‘C. Broos’ is he same person as C. H. A. Broos as the author in an article in The World of M. C. Escher, immediately above. The booklet, of 32 pages, but without an introduction, contents or pagination, does give brief details as to Broos’s background not available above; he was curator of modern art, Municipal Museum, The Hague.

Use of Escher’s plane tilings, namely 43 (shells and starfish), 55 (fish), 70 (butterfly), 78 (unicorn), and Birds in Space, as crystallographic principles. Such crystallographic aspects lie outside my main interest, and so the ‘article’ has little of direct interest. I say ‘article’ in quotation marks, as I am not certain if this is indeed so. No bibliographic detail is give, although the indication that this is indeed so, as the pagination begins at p. 213.

Caldwell, Clare E. ‘The mind's eye.’ Journal Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 2014 October, Volume 85, Issue 10, p.1064, Editorial Commentary (12 August 2019)

Of historical tiling interest. On the Eliseevichi, Russia, tusk artefact, with an old, c. 12,000-15,000 BC tiling of hexagons.

In short, this editorial commentary paves the way for G. D. Schott’s more expansive article in the same journal. A feature of Caldwell’s piece is that, bizarrely, of introducing the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky into the topic. I see no connection or need! Kandinsky has no interest in tiling. Geometry, in a broad sense, yes, but not tiling. If he is included, why not many others? Further, the outlet seems a little odd; why a medical journal? No discussion of the historical mathematical aspect.

Of note is the reference to the well-known eight-pointed star and pointed cross tiling, p. 759, in which this is described by Bakhtiar mystically, as ‘The Breath of The Compassionate’, and of which the term seems to have spread. Chorbachi takes him, and other mystics, to task. This reference only came to light in September 2017, upon research on the star and cross tiling in connection with a variation by Muriel Higgins; I had forgotten the reference!

Lothar Collatz: Geometric ornaments. Lecture and speeches on the occasion of the award of the honorary doctorate by the Faculty of Science on November 12, 1985, Augsburg 1986

From a reference in Nenad Trinajstić. Text is all in German, with no translation. Replete with tiling diagrams, full of interest, albeit effectively with my having only the most minimal German the text is unreadable.  Pp. 2-13 are all text, and can be disregarded. To what extent this is original is unclear.

Of most interest are the Cairo tiling diagrams. Attempts are made occasionally with Escher-like tessellation with minimal detail, of an eye. However, these are mostly in effect designed as ‘overlaps’, with no skill or imagination required. One exception, of a polyomino, is that of a dog,, which is quite reasonable. Pages of interest:

Horsehead p. 25 with minimal detail, of an eye designed as ‘overlaps’, with no skill or imagination required

Dogbone and applecore (of recent 2019 interest) p. 26

Human figure p. 27 human figures, designed as ‘overlaps’, with no skill or imagination required

First, as a general statement, typically, Coxeter’s works are of a too advanced nature, way beyond my understanding. However, as he has an interest in tiling and Escher, I do indeed see the odd diagram at least of interest. Further, the Cairo tiling appears among his works (book cover and *) and so it is possible that it has appeared in his publications elsewhere. Therefore, I am more inclined to peruse such material than perhaps otherwise.

A major collection of articles (of 1034 pages!) arising from the conference. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly tessellations, and to an extent polyhedra, are not really discussed.

Begins by gives a history of lifelike tessellations, pp. 17-18, of the Art Nouveau period.  A listing of the ‘permissible’ isohedral tilings is given, as well as a brief history of lifelike tiling. Begins with a history, his own thoughts with illustrations of three of his works, of badgers and birds, of isohedral and anisohedral patterns. A chart of 49 ways of drawing lifelike tessellations is given, of which with correspondence with various parties (including Crompton), is shown to be wrong; it should be 47.

Cromwell, Peter R. ‘Celtic Knotwork: Mathematical Art’. The Mathematical Intelligencer. Vol. 15, No. 1, 1993 pp. 36–47 (15 December 2011)

The first of six articles by Cromwell, largely featuring Islamic tiling, some of more interest than others.

Popular account. Of peripheral interest only (being on knots). This article (biography) mentions his interest in M. C. Escher and impossible figures.

————. ‘Kepler’s Work on Polyhedra’. ‘Years Ago’ column in The Mathematical Intelligencer. Vol. 17, No. 3, 1995 pp. 23–33 (16 December 2011)

Popular account. This article predates his book on polyhedra and acted as the inspiration.

————. ‘The Search for Quasi-Periodicity in Islamic 5-fold Ornament’. The Mathematical Intelligencer. Vol. 31, No. 1, pp. 36–56, 2009 (25 November 2011)

Popular account. Conclusion drawn is a negative; no such quasi-periodicity is found.

————. ‘Islamic Geometric Designs from the Topkapi Scroll I: unusual arrangements of stars’. Journal of Mathematics and the Arts. Vol. 4, No. 2, June 2010, pp. 73–85 (10 April 2013)

General interest. The first of a two-part article. The inclusion of the word ‘stars’ in the title is questionable, the premise is not of a dedicated study of stars as such. Readable with reservation.

————. ‘Islamic Geometric Designs from the Topkapi Scroll II: a modular design system’. Journal of Mathematics and the Arts. Vol. 4, No. 2, June 2010, pp. 73–85 (10 April 2013)

General interest. As detailed above.

Cromwell, Peter R. and Elisabetta Beltrami ‘The Whirling Kites of Isfahan: Geometric Variations on a Theme’. The Mathematical Intelligencer. Volume 33, No. 3, pp. 84–93, 2011 (29 December 2011)

Popular account. Of recent (September 2019) interest due to a Twitter posting of mine on a Hidezaku Nomura kite tiling, of which upon Vincent Pantaloni retweeting, gained considerable interest, expanding to a ‘Pythagorean’ tiling of kites and squares. Cromwell and Beltrami title this as ‘Whirling Kites’, based upon a tiling at the Friday Mosque, Isfahan, central Iran. This article I consider to be the best, by far, broadly accessible, with occasional advanced maths. Unfortunately, their terminology does not appear to have gained traction, as a search upon the term, and with tessellation added, nothing related shows. John Golden has studied this, with a very nice GeoGebra animation.

The extent of Elisabetta Beltrami’s input is unclear, but likely of a decidedly lesser nature. She was a colleague of Cromwell at the University of Liverpool.

Cromwell, an advanced mathematician, in addition to his serious work, also has an interest in many recreational aspects, and in particular on Islamic tiling, of which he has numerous papers. However, although all are of a broad popular level, and indeed of interest, I only pay lip service to his analysis. As such, I find Islamic designs broadly intractable; there is so much variation that it is overwhelming, although I retain a passing (albeit passive) interest. He also has articles such as Borromean Rings and Celtic Knotwork. His interests also extend to impossible figures and Escher although I have not seen anything from his in this field.

A brief, albeit significant mention of Escher in relation to his exhibit at the 1954 International Congress of Mathematicians Conference, Amsterdam, p. 9: 1954 had the International Congress of Mathematicians at Amsterdam. Jaap was leader of the entertainment committee. We got the idea to attach an Escher exhibition to the congress. It was a great success. A great thing for Escher too: having it in the prestigious Stedelijk Museum, it gave him a recognition that he did not have before. And it brought him into contact with scientists from all over the world. In particular with Coxeter and young Penrose. The effect on his work is easily seen: he had learned about the circle groups.

Delone, B. N. (also known as Delaunay). ‘The Theory of Planigons’ (in Russian) Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR Ser Mat 23 1959, 365-386. (23 June 2011)

Liberally illustrated with numerous tiles and tilings, of which prominent is a Cairo type tiling, pp. 371, 374, P5B1, and a Kreugel pentagon Diagram 5a, 4. Full of interest that requires studying. Also note a much later 1978 paper by Delone, Dolbilin, and Shtogrin, which uses most of the diagrams here.

Of note here is that on p. 11 Ernst states that Escher had a copy of Jamnitzer’s book on polyhedra in his possession. In recent times, I have come to realise that Ernst’s main interest in Escher is his spatial work, rather than tessellations, as this article shows. Again, Ernst here largely dismisses Escher’s tessellations as a body of work; the article is mostly on other aspects of his work.

First, beginning in 2012, and continuing to the present day (2018), Loe Feijs, of TUE university, has written a series of articles on Houndstooth/Pied-de-poule, for successive Bridges conferences. Each article is broadly a combination of popular and scholarly accounts, and at times he uses his superior mathematical ability to write somewhat techically, far beyond my understanding. Be that as it may, these can be considered as a must read, and  they leave writings by others far in the shade.

A most pleasing discussion, although technical in places, but still largley popular, with some pleasing innovations, such as the houndstooth appearing in different orientations. Much mention of Heesch and Keinzle.

More precisely, Pied-de-poule, also called houndstooth, is the textile pattern produced by weaving black and white yarns in alternating blocks, both in the warp and the weft, using a balanced twill binding such that the block size is twice the float length, thus appearing as shown in Figure 1 (which indicates how the weaving works. Source: Wikimedia) and Figure 2 (which shows that certain variations exist). (following on from quoting Franklin)

Upon seeing a reference to equilateral pentagon tilings (i.e Cairo tiling) in Frank’s preface to The Kelvin Problem, reference is seemingly made to equilateral pentagon tilings (i.e. Cairo tilings) in conjunction with John Kasper’s own work on this. However, the exact publication was left unstated. Upon seeing a list of Frank’s publications in his obituary, this (and the following article) would appear to be what Frank is quoting. However, disappointingly, of the following there is not any Cairo tile tile diagrams (or indeed, pentagon diagrams per se). As the title suggests, an academic article, mostly beyond my understanding.

Of note is that I must have purposeful sought this out; I photocopied it in Hull reference library, along with an article by Robinson and Wilson. Notably contains examples of the ‘Fraser spiral’, plates III-VII and other twisted cord type illusions. However, as regards tessellation it is inconsequential; although of interest in ‘optical illusion phenomena’, there is nothing tessellation related here.

The first in a series of four articles of ‘paper patterns’. Note that I did not see these en masse, of which I first saw 3 and 4 in 1991, and 1 and 2 much later, in 2013. Of these, ‘Paper Patterns 3’ in particular is of most interest, this leaning towards tessellation, whilst 4 is also of interest in this regard, albeit decidedly less so.

Simply stated, this (1) concerns mathematically folding A4 paper (and gives a brief history of its introduction, of Germany, in 1930s) of a variety of geometric shapes.

From Wikipedia: Avant Garde was a magazine notable for graphic and logogram design by Herb Lubalin. The magazine had 14 issues and was published from January 1968 to July 1971. The magazine was based in New York City. The editor was Ralph Ginzburg. Avant Garde 3, published in May 1968, lists in the masthead:.

Note that from 1998 to 2005 Andrew Glassner, a computer scientist at Microsoft Research, with a strong interest in graphics, had a column in IEEE in which he discussed a variety of subjects from a graphic viewpoint, some of which are direct interest, being of a tiling nature as well as others of a more peripheral nature. These articles I have long known about, possibly from Craig Kaplan’s bibliography in his thesis, of which previously they were unavailable to me (save for purchasing from the IEEE site). Only of today have I found these freely available on his website. As such, in a broad sense there is much of interest here, although for the sake of brevity I list here only those that are of the most significant.

Glickman, Michael. ‘The G-Block System of Vertically Interlocking Paving’. Second International Conference of Concrete Block Paving. Delft April 10-12, 1984 (29 July 2014)

Of pavement interest. Glickman, Macaulay Corporation Limited, UK,  appears to be an authority on the subject. Also see his patents, with many interesting tilings, especially of a modified hexagon, forming a chevron with many different placements. Does anyone know of Glickman? Contact details appear unavailable. The first of two papers of his I have. This is the more technical, on 'G-Blocks' (although I fail to see why these are so named). Strictly, there is nothing here of direct interest.

Wikipedia

Scripta Mathematica was a quarterly journal published by Yeshiva University [New York] devoted to the philosophy, history, and expository treatment of mathematics. It was said to be, at its time, "the only mathematical magazine in the world edited by specialists for laymen."

The journal was established in 1932 under the editorship of Jekuthiel Ginsburg, a professor of mathematics at Yeshiva University, and its first issue appeared in 1933 at a subscription price of three dollars per year. It ceased publication in 1973. Notable papers published in Scripta Mathematica included work by Nobelist Percy Williams Bridgman concerning the implications for physics of set-theoretic paradoxes, and Hermann Weyl's obituary of Emmy Noether.

From an indirect reference in Tilings & Patterns. Obtained on the premise of it consisting of ‘popular tiling’. However, somewhat of a let down as regards tiling content, although tiling is indeed shown, but is rather of ‘technical weave matters’,  the subject matter being of no real interest of the day. There is no reference to tessellation per se. However, subsequently, in more recent times, of 2019, with a recent interest in houndstooth and related fabric matters, this is once more examined in the new context. In short, Grünbaum and Shephard take the weaving community to task for a lack of rigour, and indeed the mathematical community, for a shortsighted lack of interest, noting that only papers by Lucas (1867, 1880, 1911), Shorter (1920) and Woods (1935) pass any degree of muster. As to be expected, they are considerably more rigorous, with clear definitions. Aside from clarifying standard weaving terms, they also introduce some mathematics that quickly loses me, namely of isonemal and monomenal. Of particular note is their Fig. 5, containing the ‘minimum houndstooth’, although I do not fully understand their premise, of in effect ‘failed fabrics’. Titles such as isonemal and monomenal are introduced, likely of originality on their part (Akelman, 2011, asserts so); again, I do not understand these distinctions, and indeed much of the mathematical discussion. Further, even the weave authority and computer scientist Ralph Griswold is lost as to their term ‘hanging together’! The ambiguous use of satin and sateen is also taken to task. There seems to be some fearsome mathematics underlying isonemal matters. For example, see Bohdan Zelinka’s paper ‘Symmetries of Woven Fabrics’. The various complexities and nuances here, are, at least for now (2019), are put aside. Much time here could otherwise be wasted on matters largely inconsequential to my researches and understanding. 

The references list works on fabrics and weaving by Albers, Fox and Haton, Nisbet, Oelsner, Pizzuto and d’Alessandro, Strong and Watson, of which at the time (1996) I neglected to pursue, being under the impression, from p.? that these were generic instances, of no particular importance, being one of many. However, upon a latter day return (of houndstooth studies, 2019) I now find this not to be so! Grunbaum and Shephard seem to have chosen specially; the books here, some found on cs.arizona.edu, seem to have been selected, of high quality.

(24 April 2012)

Although this has what can be interpreted as ‘skewed Cairos’, there is not a standard Cairo tile here. Note that this article was the first of three by Haag on a listing of B.G. Escher as given to M. C. Escher (as documented in Visions…, p. 357).

 ————. ‘Die regelmässigen Planteilungen und Punktsysteme’. Zeitschrift fur Kristallographie 58 (1923): 478-488. (24 April 2012)

This is the article Doris Schattschneider quoted me as a Cairo tiling, fig 13, p. 487 in her tiling listserver response to my posting. However, after a translation was obtained, this is not so, Haag is referring to a quadrilateral tile, and not a pentagon; the pentagon ‘appears’ incidentally, upon a misinterpretation of the diagram. Note that this article was the second of three by Haag on a listing of B.G. Escher as given to M. C. Escher (as documented in Visions…, p. 357). N.B. ‘regelmässigen’ in the title  is lower case as in the original, and is not a typo on my part.

Of note is a preoccupation with counterchange, of which he complied a short but significant reference.

Hankin, E. Hanbury. ‘On Some Discoveries of the Methods of Design Employed in Mahommedan Art’. Journal of the Society of Arts, 1905, Vol. LIII, 461-477 (25 February 2013)

First, as to Hankin’s series of five articles, arising from his visit to India (1892-early 1920s), and specifically of the Fatehpur Sikri and Tomb of Itimad-Ud-Daula. Incidentally, Hankin was a most interesting character, with many scientific interests. These articles differ in their scope and extent. The more substantial articles are ‘The Drawing of…’ and ‘On some Discoveries of the Methods…’. The others, all in the Mathematical Gazette, are merely one or two pages.

This paper was seemingly read to a Journal of the Society of Arts meeting, dated March 17, 1905. This gives a general overview , with geometrical patterns divided into four classes: square, hexagonal, octagonal and arabesques, and of which I have issue with. Nonetheless, it is an impressive piece of writing, liberally illustrated, and largely popular, although still not yet studied as such by myself. Lewis F. Day gets a mention, p. 475.

————. ‘The Drawing of Geometric Patterns in Saracenic Art’. Memoirs of the Archaeological Survey of India. No. 15. Calcutta: Government of India Central Publication Branch 1925 (25 September 2010).

Islamic style patterns, a ‘how it was done’, in five broad parts: Hexagonal patterns, Octagonal patterns, Geometrical Arabesques, Floral Arabesques and Decoration of domes. These differ in extent, with Geometrical Arabesques the more lengthy, whereas Floral Arabesque is a mere half page. The articles consists of an essay pp. 1-25, followed by illustrations (thirteen pages, non-paginated) thereof. Again, I have yet to do this justice. Of a broad overview, this discusses Hankin’s ‘polygons in contact’ and 'overlapping' methodology. Of particular interest is that of two diagrams of a line drawing analysis of a fused pentagon, with a Cairo tile premise if suitably joined. Both seemingly give an equilateral pentagon. Specifically, see Figure 24, a screen at the tomb of Itimad-Ud-Daula, Agra, and Figure 25, a vestibule (entrance hall) at the tomb of Akbar, Sikandra.

Subsequently, Craig Kaplan ‘Islamic Star Patterns from Polygons in Contact’ (2005) and B. Lyne Bodner ''Polygons in Contact' Grid Method for Recreating a Decagonal Star Polygon Design’ has followed up on his methodology.

In short, an article inspired by Escher’s print ‘Planaria’, with the print having common connections to Hart’s interest in sculpture, and in particular here that of octahedra and tetrahedra. Begins with a brief discussion on the print, with references to the above polyhedra, and also of the planaria, and then more extensively Hart’s own work in the field, concentrating on the polyhedral aspect per se. For no particular reason, planaria, and more specifically of the creatures themselves, has attracted my attention at odd intervals, with the latest of May 2019, on the occasion of finding new detail on the print (by Sherry Buchsbaum in a blog reply). Hence my more circumspect appraisal of Hart’s piece, in the search for anything of interest, given that this print is not too frequently commonly discussed in the literature. Hart, in general, is more concerned with his special interest, rather than planaria. However, he does indeed make one interesting unconnected point in the introduction, commenting on none of Escher's’ trademarks’ being here, but is rather a portrayal of a plausible, albeit unfamiliar, scene. Simply stated nothing per se new on planaria.

Although not strictly of a mathematical nature, included here as it is often quoted in tessellation matters. As such, I believe this first came to my attention as a result of an article on Escher in Scientific American ‘Sources of Ambiguity in the Prints of Maurits C. Escher’, by Marianne Teuber, of which on p. 94 she quotes this reference. Consequently, I thus apparently followed up on this (ordered from the British library). However, tessellation wise, of figure and ground, this is a relative disappointment. As such, it is inconsequential. Rubin’s face-vase is discussed/illustrated, pp. 410-415, but what it contains is not of practical use.

The importance of this article can hardly be overstated. This is the first popular account of parquet deformations, with William Huff’s student-inspired works, of which Hofstadter does it full justice, with 12 stunning examples. And the titles are most amusing too! To pick a favourite is invidious. However, if pressed ‘Fylfot Flipflop’. Of note is that these are all linear. Absolutely delightful!

This essentially repeats Hofstader’s original July 1983 column in Scientific American (his last), with extra, minor text, but also, more importantly, a ‘post scriptum’, in which a parquet deformation of David Olseon’s ‘I at the Center’ is illustrated and discussed, and much praised.

Kemp, Martin. ‘Science in culture: A trick of the tiles’. Nature 436, p. 332, 2005. (15 April 2020)

On Penrose tiling, despite the title. From the abstract or introduction:

Penrose tiling is realized on a huge scale in Perth to give a perceptual feast for the eyes. Geometry in Western art predominantly involves space and proportion. But in other cultures, most notably Islamic, Chinese and Japanese, artistic geometry flowered most conspicuously in flat patterns, above all in the invention of striking tessellations in tiling, mosaics and textile designs... 

I find Kemp, an authority on Leonardo, a most impressive figure, of which I have long been aware of him from his book The Science of Art. Optical Themes in Western Art from Brunelleschi to Seurat, from 1993(?). I now see (2020) on his website that he has a whole range of 206 science publications to his name, many of likely interest. Pleasingly, although he doesn't mention this as such, he has made this, and others (about half) available on Researchgate.

Brief history of plane tiling, Escher first pages.

Lansdown, John. Preamble

John Lansdown (1929–1999), a computer graphics expert and architect, wrote a series of short page (1-2 in length) articles for the Computer Bulletin journal between the years 1984–1992. His Escher and tessellation interests were decidedly mild (at least in print), and of which although such articles appeared on occasion, but decidedly rarely, as to be expected really. Indeed, strictly, there are only about three articles of direct interest. Upon long (April 2015) being familiar previously with his 1992 paper on Escher (incidentally his last), but no others, without the journal being readily available (or so I believed) I put his interest down to a brief flirtation and did not pursue this. However, upon recent (October) 2020 interest in the computer art of William Kolomyjec (as part of fractals investigations with a collaboration with Peichang Ouyang), I stumbled across the entire run of the articles as freely available PDFs at a Birkbeck College site. Therefore, knowing of his Escher/tessellation interest, I decided to examine the archive more circumspectly, in the hope of finding more, to which I examined each issue. However, little more was found, and what there was of relatively only mild interest. Of course, I was also looking for other recreational maths aspects of interest/computer art, and of which there are some, but not too much of direct interest. However, given the free availability of the archive, it was incumbent on me to mine this, and although strictly the time was disproportionate as to any benefits gained, what with downloading, reading and then resulting admin work to make it ‘useful’. However, I do not unduly begrudge the time spent, the articles make for excellent coffee-time reading. 

The articles were under the title of ‘Not only computing - but also art’, with a later minor variation of ‘almost’ rather than ‘also’. The column (in contrast to the journal itself(?), and of which I have not seen) was of a broad popular level in general. The journal is now known as ITNOW (IT now). Lansdown has a distinguished place in computer history. In 1968 he co-founded the Computer Arts Society in the UK along with Alan Sutcliffe and George Mallen. In general, the articles per se are of interest in a peripheral sense. To include all here would only inflate the page, without any benefit. Therefore, below I give the more interesting, largely restricted to tiling.

Although not a commonly quoted name in tiling circles, Frederic T. Lewis, a ‘mathematical biologist’,  is referenced in Tilings and Patterns, p. 163, and an article in the references (albeit just once) and Donald Wood (Space Enclosure Systems). I also recall his name mentioned in the context of soap bubbles, likely by C. S. Smith. Forewarned as to possible pentagon interest, I followed him up in May 2020 on JSTOR. I see 52 references to him, not all articles, with about 20 of possible interest. Upon examining (skim reading) en masse, a parquet deformation, p. 3, whether by accident or design, attracted my attention, not by Lewis but rather by D'Arcy Thompson, sourced from On Growth and Form, 1917 edition (not 1945 edition).

Many of Lewis’s papers contain tiling diagrams of possible interest. However, I do not have the time to examine each paper in depth, and so I have saved likely articles of interest, pending finding references to these elsewhere, of which I can then refer. This article will serve as a marker to his name; I see little point in inflating this long listing with obscure references to little immediate purpose any further!

Note that Lord, a metallurgist, based in India, has published widely (sometimes with others, namely S. Ranganathan), of both popular (in the Indian Resonance journal) and academic, of no less than 71 articles and five books! Although most of his papers are freely available on his site, the academic instances are too advanced for me, and so are not listed here, although saved as PDF on the off chance of needing to refer to.

Mention of Cyril Stanley Smith’s part in bring to prominence Truchet tiles.

Lord, Eric A. ‘Quasicrystals and Penrose patterns’. Current Science, Vol. 78, pp. 64-72, 2000. (7 November 2018)

For sure, before a late interest in Lord of late October/November 2018, I had never heard of the Indian ‘Current Science’, described as ‘a Fortnightly Journal of Research), of which I see (Wikipedia) that it was first published in 1932! All of the journals are available on their website. As such, this appears to be of an academic nature, and putting in obvious search terms such as ‘tessellation/tiling/Escher/pentagons’ shows nothing.

Note the unusual name and spelling of Maass. I have see this spelt incorrectly in many bibliographies, as Mass, suggesting simply copying of references without the article being  to hand.

Highly significant as regards the Cairo tiling discussion, in depth, the fourth discussion (1979), after Dunn (1971), Gardner (1975) and Schattschneider (1978), and the second in situ account. Also of note is the collinearity aspect, first discussed.

Mackay, Alan L [15] ‘Extensions of space group theory’ Acta Cryst., 10, 543-8, 1957. (6 September 2016)

As regards Mackay and his articles, most of these are of an academic title, and so are mostly hard, if not impossible to obtain. However, as of 6 September 2016, I found a website making a substantial proportion of his many papers and others available, as a pdf. These are described as: (i) scientific publications, (ii) miscellaneous publications, (iii) Anecdotal Evidence" columns from "The Sciences" , (iv)indirect material, (v) book reviews, (vi) unpublished papers etc

http://met.iisc.ernet.in/~lord/webfiles/Alan/Alanpapers.html

However, despite being warmly welcomed, these are mostly of limited use and interest, as to be expected given the source, as these are highly academic, way beyond my understanding, not to mention of diverging specialties. However, on occasion, there are indeed crossovers with tiling, and of which some, with diagrams, are broadly followable; for instance, Penrose and pentagon tilings feature strongly.

To add all these available listing here, of about 250 available papers seems somewhat over officious, given the lack of need. Therefore, I here thus list just those of interest, and where quoted in tiling matters, such as with Grünbaum. Incidentally, Grünbaum lists seven articles of his, all of which I now have.

From a Garcia reference in NMP. As received from George Andrews. Of note is that MacMahon refers to a ‘haystack’, meaning a Cairo tile, p. 573, after fig. 13, and gives the construction, as in Pastimes. This term is also interestingly used by him in Pastimes (1921). W. P. D. MacMahon (1925) also uses this word in ‘The theory of closed repeating polygons…’ . So who devised it?!

As is typical of MacMahon, his favoured method of showing tessellations is of a single diagram, notably pp. 576-577, rather than, as he puts it, ‘assemblages’. p.577 also has tiles derived from the Cairo tilings.

From a Garcia reference in NMP . The article is mostly of text, with the only diagrams on p. 89. Although the text is not particularly advanced, The lack of diagrams is a major hindrance to understanding the text. Indeed, so much so that I have not truly studied this paper.

MacMahon, W. P. D. ‘The theory of closed repeating polygons in Euclidean space of two dimensions’. Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society (2) 23 (1925) 75-93 (30 April 2012)

From a Garcia reference in NMP. Of note is that (WPD) MacMahon refers to a ‘haystack’, meaning a Cairo tile, p. 89, after fig. 6, although this is not shown. As this term is also used in New Mathematical Pastimes, by PA, and so which of the MacMahons devised this is unclear.

This is noteworthy on account that although a tiling paper, no tilings are actually shown! Instead, single diagrams are shown, with the presumption of a tiling. MacMahon refers to ‘contact system of assemblages’, of which this is presumed to tessellate. the text in general is too difficult for me to follow.

Note that I have many other MacMahon papers from Garcia’s bibliography, but these are of an academic nature of no practical use, and so rather than a pointless listing are not shown here.  He particularly favoured Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society. Also see others from Garcia reference.

Juan Martín Maldacena, born 1968 in Buenos Aires, Argentina is a theoretical physicist. Among his many discoveries, the most famous one is the most reliable realization of the holographic principle – namely the AdS/CFT correspondence, the conjecture about the equivalence of string theory on Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and a conformal field theory defined on the boundary of the AdS space.

Obrębski and R. Tarczewski (eds.) 1-4 (25 April 2016, but seen earlier)

Academic in tone. Cairo tiling in the context of ‘gridshells’. As such, this appears to have been an academic study rather than its implementation into actual physical models/structures.

(Confusingly, inside the book this is also titled as ‘Mathematics Teacher’ (first saw May 1988, hard copy of magazine of 18 June 2011, and individual articles 18 February 2013)

Note that the article featured in a ‘special edition’ on tessellations, specifically concerning three Escher-inspired tessellation articles; (i) Ernest R. Ranucci, ‘Master of Tessellations M.C. Escher;’ (ii) Joseph L. Teeters ‘How to draw tessellations of the Escher Type’, and (iii) Evan M. Maletsky ‘Activities: Designs with Tessellations’.

The article is most brief indeed, of just four pages padded by large scale diagrams and shows a typical teacher attempt at the Escher-like aspect, with two tessellations showing no understanding of the matter, with little more than detail added to a tile. This also shows an analysis of Escher's  flying fish tessellation.  Admittedly, the article appears slanted to children, but it should have been better. This appears to be his only attempt at Escher-like tessellations, as upon a web search (October 2017), there is no other apparent works by him in this field. Maletsky at least speaks with authority, a maths (and physics) teacher, with a NCTA lifetime achievement award of 2009.

Of James McConnell interest, re Escher-flatworms, albeit there is nothing here on Escher, but rather of his (admirable) humour. McConnell’s piece was part of a seemingly special edition on humour and science, from Unesco. (May 2019)

————. Article Title Unknown. Worm Runner’s Digest Vol. XVI No. 2, December 1974, pages unknown. WANTED

Of Escher reference, at least of the cover, of which after this  there are many uncertainties here. I do not have the journal in my possession, and quite where I got this reference from is unclear; I may have found it independently, although I doubt it. Be all as it may, an article in The Unesco Courier of April 1976, shows the cover of the WRD, illustrated with Escher’s Flatworm print (a topic of recent (May 2019) interest). Quite what, if indeed there is an Escher related article here  is unclear.

As such, the Escher aspect here is only of illustrations; there is not any reference in the text. More exactly, this shows shows the cover of the WRD of 1974, illustrated with Escher’s Flatworm print (a topic of recent (May 2019) interest). The Courier piece is an interesting read in many ways. There is no Escher discussion as such in it, although the Flatworms print is shown on p. 13, with the premise on flatworms (a most interesting creature, I might add. I had no idea of the fascinating science on it). As an aside, I very much enjoy McConnell’s humour.

O’Keefe, M. and B. G. Hyde. ‘Plane Nets in Crystal Chemistry’. Philosophical Transactions Royal Society London. Series A, 295 1980, 553-618 (8 March 2013)

From a reference in Tilings and Patterns. A very nice paper indeed in a generalized sense, although of course, given the academic nature, much is beyond my understanding. Of particular note is two instances of the Cairo tiling, although not stated as such:

P. 557, in relation to use in Mathematical Models by Cundy and Rollett and New Mathematical Pastimes by MacMahon.

P. 567, a diagram, where O’Keefe and Hyde specifically name it after MacMahon, with ‘MacMahon’s net’.

As such this paper seemingly marks the introduction of the term ‘MacMahon’s Net’ for the Cairo tiling, and was used again by them in their 1996 paper, but this time in addition with the Cairo association. However, this is very much an ‘unofficial’ description. Upon correspondence (2012) with him:

I suspect I got ‘Cairo tiling’ from Martin Gardner who wrote several articles on pentagon tilings. He is very reliable. As to ‘MacMahon's net’, I got the MacMahon reference from Cundy & Rollet….We are mainly interested in tilings on account of the nets (graphs) they carry.

Possibly, and plausibly, this by MacMahon, of 1921, was the earliest known representation, and so in a sense, it was indeed broadly justified, even though by 1980 the ‘Cairo tiling’ term was coming into popular use, although if so, it is now been left behind by my subsequent researches. Curiously, the term is used on the Cairo pentagonal tiling Wikipedia page. However, the page leaves much to be desired, including this designation. Toshikazu Sunada has also used this term. However, I do not like this at all; it seems a somewhat artificial, additional naming, and so is unnecessary. Better would simply to have credited MacMahon as the first known instance (at the time) but without naming it after him. Also see a later paper, of 1996.

Biographical details: Michael O’Keefe (1942-) and Bruce Godfrey Hyde (1925-2014) are two prominent people in science, and leading lights in their fields, namely physics and solid state chemistry respectively. In this regard, both have an interest in tilings, of which the paper addresses. Although of an intended academic audience, the paper is still nonetheless has much popular interest. Aside from the Cairo tiling, there are some most interesting simple, but aesthetic tilings, deserving of study.

Oliver, June. ‘Symmetries and Tessellations’. Mathematics in School, Vol. 8 No.1 January, 2-5, 1979 (18 February 2013)

How to Escher-guide, typical teacher lack of understanding of issues, own illustrations belying lack of knowledge. That said, a ‘spider and web’ tessellation does indeed show a little imagination, albeit of a novelty level.

Ollerton, Mike. ‘Dual Tessellations’. Mathematics in School. January 2000. p. 9 (20 February 2013)

This seems to be a small innovation of Ollerton’s devising. Mostly duals are taken from the semi-regular tilings, but here he uses a dual of a right-angled triangle tessellation, with his own notation to describe this.

Broadly philosophical speculations by Osborn on the reducing numbers of possible future life-like tessellation. This is noteworthy for the ridiculous statement by Osborn ‘…Escher foreclosed forever the possibility of any subsequent artist employing this user friendly geometry for the Amphographic depiction of any even remotely related subject matter without incurring the epithet ‘imitator, or ‘derivative’, or even plagiarist’. Absurd. So every painter copies from caveman art? Every mathematician copies from Euclid? Every artist is copying Escher? No, no, no; people build on cavemen, build on Euclid, and build on Escher, not plagiarising.

————. ‘Tiny Treasury of Tessellations’. The Mathematics Teacher (NCTM) 61(2): 114-117, 1968 (15 February 2013)

A simple article on tessellation per se, without Escher-like aspects. Of note is that this has his own version of a Cairo tiling, albeit of different sized pentagons. Also, he uses the term ‘par hexagon’, perhaps taken for one of his references, by Kasner and Newman.

A brief discussion on Escher’s tessellations and prints: Coast of Amalfi, Castrovalva, Eight Heads, Day and Night, Fish and Scales, Convex and Concave and Belvedere, both tessellation based and non tessellation, nothing of any significance, the article consists mostly of pictures.

Note that Ranucci was a prolific author, of mostly school-orientated material that is generally understandable, and so I trawled the JSTOR archives for any such articles, although the distinction between usefulness and those of lesser interest is no easily demarked. I have many other articles by Ranucci of no special importance to me (being non-tessellation and polyhedra), and so for this reason they are not listed in any great detail here in the main listing, instead I simply list the titles: Jungle-Gym Geometry, Isosceles, Permutation Patterns, On the Occasional Incompatibility of Algebra and Geometry, Of Shoes-and Ships-And Sealing Wax-of Barber Poles and Things, Tantalizing ternary, applications.

Of note is that I must have purposeful sought this out; I photocopied it in Hull reference library, along with an article by James Fraser. A short article of just three pages, of a popular account, with discussions on the ‘three-stick clevis’. There is nothing (unsurprisingly) tessellation related.
