Polyominoes: Puzzles, Patterns, Problems, and Packings2 reviews Solomon W. Golomb Princeton University Press, 1994 Even better the second time through + Ultimate book on polyominoes by the inventor. One of the most eagerly anticipated second editions in the history of mathematics, the wait was worth it. Literally defining a whole new area of recreational mathematics, the problems and proof techniques introduced in the first edition have kept an entire generation of mathematical thinkers ...             Mathographics2 reviews Robert Dixon Dover Publications, 1991 Computer Art in basic This book has many interesting examples in it of symmetry and computation. I have been able to use it as a source of material in my computer classes. Students love the visual stimulation, as well as the computational structures. More complete code examples (particularly for the 3D part) would have ...             Islamic Design: A Genius for Geometry (Wooden Books)2 reviews Daud Sutton Walker & Company, 2007 An interesting book + great little books I haven't looked at it in too much detail but it has plenty of cool, trippy looking geometrical patterns.

S. M. Coxeter Dover Publications, 1973 Great. + A classic + Classic Thi is an excellent text that I recommend to anyone seriously interested in geometry. The book enumerates all n-dimensional polytopes and aids in visualizing multidimensional space. The book could be improved with computer graphics of the polytopes, but otherwise it is perfect.             Designing Tessellations : The Secrets of Interlocking Patterns17 reviews Jinny Beyer McGraw-Hill, 1999 Well worth it! + A Real "How To---" + Useful and inspirational in many ways + excellent + magnifico             Mosaic and Tessellated Patterns: How to Create Them, with 32 Plates to Color (Dover Pictorial Archive Series)1 review John Willson Dover Publications, 1983 Not what I expected, but still very useful The book introduces the basic types of tessellations and presents many examples. Note that the book title say "32 plates _to_ color" and not "32 color plates". The "look inside" feature shows already colored tessellations, but they are not in the book. It's not a problem, but don't expect to get ...             Patterns: New Surface Design4 reviews Cole Drusilla Laurence King Publishers, 2007 Inspirational patterns + GOOD JOB!!! This is a fantastic book full of wonderful pattern designs in many different styles... very inspirational! Great for textile or surface designers, or anyone interested in design.
