What are Tessellations?

People use different names to call them: mosaic pictures, tilings, and so on. 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 is repeated without crossing boundaries or leaving gaps.
