Teaching Geometry and Research on Fractal Tilings
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we demonstrate how our research findings regarding fractal tilings arose through the teaching of a geometry course, and describe the mathematical relationships between the content of the geometry course and our research results. We share this delightful experience and demonstrate how research can be closely related to teaching activities in university.

Fractal Tilings from Iterated Function Systems
A simple, yet unifying method is provided for the construction of tilings by tiles obtained from the attractor of an iterated function system (IFS). Many examples appearing in the literature in ad hoc ways, as well as new examples, can be constructed by this method. These tilings can be used to extend a fractal transformation defined on the attractor of a contractive IFS to a fractal transforma...
متن کاملA study on dimensions of Fractal geometry in Iranian architecture
The subject of geometry and proportions has been regarded as an issue which has a close relationship with architecture. Since the entire universe, living beings and the human geometry can be seen clearly, that’s why our unconscious essence has accustomed to these proportions whereby reflection of this mentality can be seen in the architect’s hands and thought in the architecture. It can witness...
متن کاملDigraph Self-Similar Sets and Aperiodic Tilings
Self-similarity is a concept often associated with fractal geometry. There are many interesting self-similar sets in the plane which would not generally be considered fractal, however (although their boundaries might be fractal). Such sets provide a fresh way of looking at tilings of the plane. Furthermore, a generalization of self-similarity, called digraph self-similarity, provides a way to c...
متن کاملTwo-color Fractal Tilings
A variety of two-color fractal tilings (f-tilings) are described, in which no two adjacent tiles have the same color. Two-colorable examples from f-tilings that have been described previously are identified, and two techniques are used for converting f-tilings that are not two-colorable into new f-tilings that can be so colored. In the first of these, tiles are combined in order to change the v...
متن کاملAnalysis of Herat embroidery patterns from the perspective of fractal geometry
Geometric shapes and motifs are a combination of the human spiritual mind which sees the existence of beautiful and paints a historical civilization through this vision. The geometric motifs are an expression of the rhythmic and balanced human beings possessions when the human being wants to imagine beyond the present and create a world full of love. The patterns/shapes are the basis of artwork...
