What are Tessellations?

People use different names to call them: mosaic pictures, tilings, etc. The word tessellation comes from the Latin word “tessera,” – which refers to a small stone cube used in mosaic floors and patterns. A tessellation usually refers to a specific mathematical concept where a given pattern can be repeated over and over again without crossing any of its boundaries or leaving any gaps.
