  2. Wang tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_tile

    Example of Wang tessellation with 13 tiles. In 1961, Wang conjectured that if a finite set of Wang tiles can tile the plane, then there also exists a periodic tiling, which, mathematically, is a tiling that is invariant under translations by vectors in a 2-dimensional lattice.

  3. Self-tiling tile set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-tiling_tile_set

    A self-tiling tile set, or setiset, of order n is a set of n shapes or pieces, usually planar, each of which can be tiled with smaller replicas of the complete set of n shapes. That is, the n shapes can be assembled in n different ways so as to create larger copies of themselves, where the increase in scale is the same in each case.

    SageMath is designed partially as a free alternative to the general-purpose mathematics products Maple and MATLAB. It can be downloaded or used through a web site. SageMath comprises a variety of other free packages, with a common interface and language. SageMath is developed in Python.

  5. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(mathematics)

    In mathematics and physics, the term generator or generating set may refer to any of a number of related concepts. The underlying concept in each case is that of a smaller set of objects, together with a set of operations that can be applied to it, that result in the creation of a larger collection of objects, called the generated set .

    Soft statistics are those statistics which are generally cognitive in nature, and are often used to represent nonphysical characteristics of a character. Alternatively, instead of being mental statistics, they may also represent certain nonphysical effects on a character, as with attributes such as Luck , seen below.

    The wagon must travel a path that is given by a mathematical function. A mathematical game is a game whose rules, strategies, and outcomes are defined by clear mathematical parameters.

    That the screen is made of such tiles is a technical distinction, and may not be obvious to people playing the game. The complete set of tiles available for use in a playing area is called a tileset. Tile-based games usually simulate a top-down, side view, or 2.5D view of the playing area, and are almost always two-dimensional.
