WebMath: mathematical exposition

[Sarah Seastone]

See Alexander Bogomolny's interactive columns using Java applets, 
"Cut the Knot," hosted by the MAA.  The archive of past columns is at 
http://www.maa.org/editorial/knot/knot-index.html ; most recent work 
can be found at http://www.maa.org/news/columns.html .

And see http://forum.swarthmore.edu/dynamic/one-corona/, Catalog of 
Isohedral Tilings by Symmetric Polygonal Tiles, by Doris 
Schattschneider, written to accompany the article "One Corona is 
Enough for the Euclidean Plane" (published in "Quasicrystals and 
Discrete Geometry," J. Patera, editor, The Fields Institute for 
Research in Mathematical Sciences Monograph Series, Vol. 10, AMS, 
Providence, RI, 1998, pp. 207-246). Scroll to the bottom of the Web 
page, enter the catalog of tilings at one of the pages, and select a 
"Play Java" link.
