The Art of Oriental Carpets Oriental carpets have long been appreciated for their beauty. That beauty is achieved through the choice of colors and designs, as well as by the manipulation of designs and colors to form pleasing patterns. The study of symmetry offers one approach to analyzing patterns in Oriental carpets. Through symmetry analysis we may identify areas of pattern that exhibit expected repetitions, and areas that vary from that expectation. |

The site makes use of “MicroWorlds” and “Java applets” and is highly interactive. Although designed for children, there is nothing childish about the topics covered here: tessellations, magic squares, polyhedra, and Lissajous curves, to name but a few. And if you like cats, they are all over the place. One even follows the cursor around the screen! |
