Cover Photo:\u00a0<\/b>Tessellations combine the creativity of art with the laws of mathematics in the formation of beautiful patterns. \u00a0By utilizing specific shapes and commands, one can generate countless varieties of patterns such as the one pictured on this year’s cover. \u00a0The basis of such patterns can be a simple shape or a more complicated image, such as the M.C. Escher-inspired pattern shown here (image created by Leonardo J.
