The math classes have for the past several years been creating tesselations for entry in the Dale Seymour Publications Tesselations Contest. Tesselations are seamlessly tilable patterns created from a basic geometric grid; they have been popularized most significantly by the mind-bending works of M. C. Escher. The tesselations are an impressive testament to both the creativity and the geometric ingenuity required to create these fascinating tiles.

The above tesselation is by Melissa Ramirez. It was a National Winner in the 1994 contest.
