It was 18.177 taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology during Spring of 2019. The brilliant students who participated in the class1: Andrew Ahn, Ganesh Ajjanagadde, Livingston Albritten, Morris (Jie Jun) Ang, Aaron Berger, Evan Chen, Cesar Cuenca, Yuzhou Gu, Kaarel Haenni, Sergei Ko- rotkikh, Roger Van Peski, Mehtaab Sawhney, Mihir Singhal provided tremen- dous help in typing the notes. Additional material was added to most of the lectures after the class was over. Hence, when using this review as a textbook for a class, one should not expect to cover all the material in one semester, something should be left out. I also would like to thank Amol Aggarwal, Alexei Borodin, Christian Krat- tenthaler, Igor Pak, Jiaming Xu, Marianna Russkikh, and Semen Shlosman for their useful comments and suggestions. I am grateful to Christophe Charlier, Maurice Duits, Sevak Mkrtchyan, and Leonid Petrov for the help with simula- tions of random tilings. Funding acknowledgements.

The general setup is to take a lattice domain and tile it with elementary blocks. For the most part, we study the special case of tiling a polygonal domain on the triangular grid (of mesh size 1) by three kinds of rhombi that we call “lozenges”. The left panel of Figure 1.1 shows an example of a polygonal domain on the triangular grid. The right panel of Figure 1.1 shows the lozenges: each of them is obtained by gluing two adjacent lattice triangles. A triangle of the grid is surrounded by three other triangles, attaching one of them we get one of the three types of lozenges. The lozenges can be also viewed as orthogonal projections onto the x+y+z = 0 plane of three sides of a unit cube. Figure 1.2 provides an example of a lozenge tiling of the domain of Figure 1.1. Figure 1.3 shows a lozenge tiling of a large domain, with the three types of lozenges shown in three different colors. The tiling here is generated uniformly at random over the space of all possible tilings of this domain. More precisely, it is generated by a computer that is assumed to have access to perfectly ran- dom bits. It is certainly not clear at this stage how such “perfect sampling” may be done computationally, in fact we address this issue in the very last lecture. Figure 1.3 is meant to capture a “typical tiling”, making sense of what this means is another topic that will be covered in this book. The simulation re- veals interesting features: one clearly sees next to the boundaries of the domain formation of the regions, where only one type of lozenges is observed. These regions are typically referred to as “frozen regions” and their boundaries are “artic curves”; their discovery and study has been one of the important driving forces for investigations of the properties of random tilings. We often identify a tiling with a so-called “height function”. The idea is to think of a 2-dimensional stepped surface living in 3-dimensional space and treat tiling as a projection of such surface onto x + y + z = 0 plane along the 7 8 Lecture 1: Introduction and tileability. B = 5 C = 5 A = 5 Figure 1.1 Left panel: A 5×5×5 hexagon with 2×2 rhombic hole. Right panel: three types of lozenges obtained by gluing two adjacent triangles of the grid. B = 5 C = 5 A = 5 Figure 1.2 A lozenge tiling of a 5 × 5 × 5 hexagon with a hole. (1;1;1) direction. In this way three lozenges become projections of three el- ementary squares in three-dimensional space parallel to each of the three co- ordinate planes. We formally define the height function later in this lecture.

  • Cyclic Quadrilaterals
    GI_PAGES19-42 3/13/03 7:02 PM Page 1 Cyclic Quadrilaterals Definition: Cyclic quadrilateral—a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle (Figure 1). Construct and Investigate: 1. Construct a circle on the Voyage™ 200 with Cabri screen, and label its center O. Using the Polygon tool, construct quadrilateral ABCD where A, B, C, and D are on circle O. By the definition given Figure 1 above, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral (Figure 1). Cyclic quadrilaterals have many interesting and surprising properties. Use the Voyage 200 with Cabri tools to investigate the properties of cyclic quadrilateral ABCD. See whether you can discover several relationships that appear to be true regardless of the size of the circle or the location of A, B, C, and D on the circle. 2. Measure the lengths of the sides and diagonals of quadrilateral ABCD. See whether you can discover a relationship that is always true of these six measurements for all cyclic quadrilaterals. This relationship has been known for 1800 years and is called Ptolemy’s Theorem after Alexandrian mathematician Claudius Ptolemaeus (A.D. 85 to 165). 3. Determine which quadrilaterals from the quadrilateral hierarchy can be cyclic quadrilaterals (Figure 2). 4. Over 1300 years ago, the Hindu mathematician Brahmagupta discovered that the area of a cyclic Figure 2 quadrilateral can be determined by the formula: A = (s – a)(s – b)(s – c)(s – d) where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the a + b + c + d quadrilateral and s is the semiperimeter given by s = 2 . Using cyclic quadrilaterals, verify these relationships.

  • Cyclic and Bicentric Quadrilaterals G
    Cyclic and Bicentric Quadrilaterals G. T. Springer Email: [email protected] Hewlett-Packard Calculators and Educational Software Abstract. In this hands-on workshop, participants will use the HP Prime graphing calculator and its dynamic geometry app to explore some of the many properties of cyclic and bicentric quadrilaterals. The workshop will start with a brief introduction to the HP Prime and an overview of its features to get novice participants oriented. Participants will then use ready-to-hand constructions of cyclic and bicentric quadrilaterals to explore. Part 1: Cyclic Quadrilaterals The instructor will send you an HP Prime app called CyclicQuad for this part of the activity. A cyclic quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral that has a circumscribed circle. 1. Press ! to open the App Library and select the CyclicQuad app. The construction consists DEGH, a cyclic quadrilateral circumscribed by circle A. 2. Tap and drag any of the points D, E, G, or H to change the quadrilateral. Which of the following can DEGH never be? • Square • Rhombus (non-square) • Rectangle (non-square) • Parallelogram (non-rhombus) • Isosceles trapezoid • Kite Just move the points of the quadrilateral around enough to convince yourself for each one. Notice HDE and HE are both inscribed angles that subtend the entirety of the circle; ≮ ≮ likewise with DHG and DEG. This leads us to a defining characteristic of cyclic ≮ ≮ quadrilaterals. Make a conjecture. A quadrilateral is cyclic if and only if… 3. Make DEGH into a kite, similar to that shown to the right. Tap segment HE and press E to select it.

  • Angle Bisectors in a Quadrilateral Are Concurrent
    Angle Bisectors in a Quadrilateral in the classroom A Ramachandran he bisectors of the interior angles of a quadrilateral are either all concurrent or meet pairwise at 4, 5 or 6 points, in any case forming a cyclic quadrilateral. The situation of exactly three bisectors being concurrent is not possible. See Figure 1 for a possible situation. The reader is invited to prove these as well as observations regarding some of the special cases mentioned below. Start with the last observation.

  • Two-Dimensional Figures a Plane Is a Flat Surface That Extends Infinitely in All Directions
    NAME CLASS DATE Two-Dimensional Figures A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions. A parallelogram like the one below is often used to model a plane, but remember that a plane—unlike a parallelogram—has no boundaries or sides. A plane figure or two-dimensional figure is a figure that lies completely in one plane. When you draw, either by hand or with a computer program, you draw two-dimensional figures. Blueprints are two-dimensional models of real-life objects. Polygons are closed, two-dimensional figures formed by three or more line segments that intersect only at their endpoints. These figures are polygons. These figures are not polygons. This is not a polygon A heart is not a polygon A circle is not a polygon because it is an open because it is has curves. because it is made of figure. a curve. Polygons are named by the number of sides and angles they have. A polygon always has the same number of sides as angles. Listed on the next page are the most common polygons. Each of the polygons shown is a regular polygon. All the angles of a regular polygon have the same measure and all the sides are the same length.

  • Hexagon Fractions
    Hexagon Fractions A hexagon can be divided up into several equal, different-sized parts. For example, if we draw a line across the center, like this: We have separated the hexagon into two equal-sized parts. Each one is one-half of the hexagon. We could draw the lines differently: Here we have separated the hexagon into three equal-sized parts. Each one of these is one-third of the hexagon. 1 Another way of separating the hexagon into equal-sized parts looks like this: There are six equal-sized parts here, so each one is one-sixth of the hexagon. Each of these shapes has a special name. The shape that is one- half of the hexagon is called a trapezoid: The one that is one-third of the hexagon is a rhombus: 2 and the one that is one-sixth of the hexagon is a … Yes, a triangle! You knew that one, for sure. We can use these shapes to get an understanding of how fractions are added and subtracted. Remember that the numerator of a fraction is just a regular number. The denominator of a fraction is more than just a number, it is sort of a “thing,” like apple, dog, or flower. But it is a “numerical thing” and has a name. We should think of “half” or “third” or “tenth” or whatever as a name, just like “apple” or “dog” or “flower” is the name of something. The numerator in a fraction tells us how many of the denominators we have. For example, because the rhombus is one-third of a hexagon, we can think of the fraction “one-third” as “one rhombus.” For a hexagon, “third” and “rhombus” are two names for the same thing.

  • 6-5 Study Guide and Intervention Rhombi and Squares
    NAME _____________________________________________ DATE ____________________________ PERIOD _____________ 6-5 Study Guide and Intervention Rhombi and Squares Properties of Rhombi and Squares A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four congruent sides. Opposite sides are congruent, so a rhombus is also a parallelogram and has all of the properties of a parallelogram. Rhombi also have the following properties. The diagonals are perpendicular. ̅푀퐻̅̅̅̅ ⊥ ̅푅푂̅̅̅ ̅푀퐻̅̅̅̅ bisects ∠RMO and ∠RHO. Each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles. ̅푅푂̅̅̅ bisects ∠MRH and ∠MOH. A square is a parallelogram with four congruent sides and four congruent angles. A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus; therefore, all properties of parallelograms, rectangles, and rhombi apply to squares. Example: In rhombus ABCD, m∠BAC = 32. Find the measure of each numbered angle. ABCD is a rhombus, so the diagonals are perpendicular and △ABE is a right triangle. Thus m∠4 = 90 and m∠1 = 90 – 32 or 58. The diagonals in a rhombus bisect the vertex angles, so m∠1 = m∠2. Thus, m∠2 = 58. A rhombus is a parallelogram, so the opposite sides are parallel. ∠BAC and ∠3 are alternate interior angles for parallel lines, so m∠3 = 32. Exercises Quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus. Find each value or measure. 1. If m∠ABD = 60, find m∠BDC. 60 2. If AE = 8, find AC. 16 3. If AB = 26 and BD = 20, find AE. 24 4. Find m∠ CEB. 90 5. If m∠CBD = 58, find m∠ACB. 32 6. If AE = 3x – 1 and AC = 16, find x. 3 7. If m∠CDB = 6y and m∠ACB = 2y + 10, find y.
