商品描述

This book provides an elementary introduction, complete with detailed proofs, to the celebrated tilings of the plane discovered by Sir Roger Penrose in the '70s. Quasi-periodic tilings of the plane, of which Penrose tilings are the most famous example, started as recreational mathematics and soon attracted the interest of scientists for their possible application in the description of quasi-crystals. The purpose of this survey, illustrated with more than 200 figures, is to introduce the curious reader to this beautiful topic and be a reference for some proofs that are not easy to find in the literature. The volume covers many aspects of Penrose tilings, including the study, from the point of view of Connes' Noncommutative Geometry, of the space parameterizing these tilings.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了一個基本的介紹，並附有詳細的證明，介紹了由羅傑·彭羅斯爵士在1970年代發現的著名平面鋪砌。平面的準周期鋪砌，其中彭羅斯鋪砌是最著名的例子，最初是作為休閒數學而開始，隨後因其在描述準晶體中的潛在應用而吸引了科學家的興趣。本書的目的在於以超過200幅圖示來引導好奇的讀者進入這個美麗的主題，並作為一些在文獻中不易找到的證明的參考。該卷涵蓋了彭羅斯鋪砌的許多方面，包括從康奈斯的非交換幾何的角度研究這些鋪砌的參數空間。
