About the Book This book explores new and exciting ways with the Tangram puzzle. Many of the ideas are original both from the mathematical and artistic perspective. There are chapters on tessellating Tangrams, Tangram Mosaics and series of designs that exploit the precious nature of the tiles. A chapter is devoted to the creation of three dimensional objects and for the more mathematical mind there is a chapter on the representation of the designs using matrices. The book is full of remarkable illustrations, created by the author. If a picture is worth a thousand words then this book is a heavy tome.
