Math Circle: Tiling a Patio
Robert Kaplan and Ellen Kaplan · Gresham College
About
The infinite shows up everywhere: not just in the counting numbers and the riddle of the primes, but in plane and geometric shapes not to mention figures in higher dimensions. Robert and Ellen Kaplan unlock the daunting mysteries of maths, showing how it is just as much a part of our everyday world as our spoken and written language.
