Abstract

This third installment of the Beautiful Math articles considers the visualization of aesthetic patterns with hyperbolic-triangle-group symmetries. A flexible form of invariant mappings contributes to a simple, efficient way to generate hyperbolic patterns. Combined with conformal mappings, this method can yield an abundance of exotic patterns. © 1981-2012 IEEE.
