Quasitiler    QuasiTiler draws Penrose tilings and their generalizations. This document explains the interesting geometry involved in the processes.
The concepts involved are surprisingly simple. The only apparent hurdle that we have to overcome is working in spaces with more than 3 dimensions.
However in the next section we start with examples in 2 and 3 dimensions where our intuition is useful. Then we extend the same concepts to more dimensions.
 

Steffen Weber   This page is meant to be a short introduction to the field of Quasicrystals in order to educate the interested reader on some basic concepts in this
relatively new branch of Crystallography. The more advanced reader may proceed to other sites and sources on quasicrystals.
This page is intended for those having no prior knowledge in this field.
