Magic Tessellations Part One

Magic Tessellations by Ian Rowland. Part 1 of 4.

If you want to link to these videos, please link to the subject and the key words (Ian Rowland Magic Tessellations), not the specific URL. This is because I may re-edit the videos and upload them again, and the URL will change every time I do this.

I made a video about my 'magic tessellations' that lasts about 40 minutes. Here, I have taken the first 30 minutes or so and chopped it into four bits so they can be posted on YouTube. The thanks and credits are at the end of part four.

These videos are for all my friends in the 'Gathering for Gardner' and 'Recreational mathematics' communities. I'd love to hear from you all (ian@ianrowland.com).

More cool stuff at my website: www.ianrowland.com .

I have no animation tools, so all the animations were done in a very slow fashion using Corel Draw and Pinnacle video editing software. I apologise for the low resolution that sometimes detracts from the clarity of the animations. If anyone wants to help me produce improved, hi-res animations, please feel free to get in touch.

I just read it, thank you. Maybe if I were dyslexic that would be a problem.

[heliczer]

Good Point!

I think this may have been intentionally misleading, as Unicorn technically do not have wings. Therefore to link your cards, you will probably have to get Pegasus' wing instead. A common mistake.

Where do I get Unicorn wing from - I've got everything else.
