Description
Algebra and Tiling is accessible to undergraduate mathematics majors, as most of the tools necessary to read the book are found in standard upper division algebra courses, but teachers, researchers, and professional mathematicians will find the book equally appealing. Beginners will find the exercises and the appendices especially useful. The unsolved problems will challenge both beginners and experts. The book could serve as the basis of an undergraduate or graduate seminar or a source of applications to enrich an algebra or geometry course.
Reviews / Votes
The prerequisites for this book are an acquaintance with the very basics of group and field theory. The appendices, on lattices, exact sequences, formal sums, and cyclotomic polynomials make this book quite self-contained and accessible to non-experts. There are plenty of historical remarks, making the exposition lively, and there are dozens of illustrations. The exercises and problems are abundant and stimulating."" - Fabio Mainardi, MAA ReviewsMore details
