About This Project
This platform is part of my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway. My name is Olav Sie Rotvær, and I developed this site as a learning tool to help explore and understand aperiodic tiling.
Aperiodic tiling is a fascinating mathematical concept that involves creating non-repeating patterns using a set of specific tile shapes. Unlike periodic tiling, which consists of repeating patterns, aperiodic tiling provides unique mathematical and visual structures that have applications in fields such as crystallography, physics, and art.
This website is designed to serve as both an interactive tool and an educational resource for students, researchers, and enthusiasts who wish to deepen their understanding of these intriguing patterns. By exploring the models and experimenting with different configurations, users can gain insight into the principles and complexities behind aperiodic tiling.
Special Thanks
I would like to extend a special thank you to Hans Jakob Rivertz for his invaluable contributions. He has played a crucial role in this project by:
- Assisting in the development process, providing technical insights and suggestions
- Contributing complex mathematical code that forms the backbone of the tiling models
- Teaching me the fundamental and advanced concepts of aperiodic tiling
His guidance and expertise have been instrumental in making this project a reality. Without his help, the depth and accuracy of the models presented here would not have been possible. His dedication to mathematical exploration has also been a source of inspiration throughout this journey.
