Project Title: The Seventeen Wallpaper Patterns

A-number of Project Title Page: A75242306

Description of Project: This is an introduction to the mathematics of two-dimensional patterns, known to mathematicians as 'wallpaper patterns'. Far from being a dry entry on maths, this is a very colourful and accessible topic which should appeal to lovers of art & design and interior decoration as well as those interested in geometry. The project consists of one main entry which describes the basic mathematics, and five further entries which describe the seventeen pattern groups in detail.

Proposed Completion Date: 21/10/10

And I thought it took me a long time to do the wallpapering...

Hi BB - thanks for the nudge on this. I'll need to rework the graphic that's too wide, but I'm also unhappy with the structure of this - too listy. I need to have a good long think about how it would work. Your feedback on what's there would help, though.
