Inspiring popular video games like Tetris while contributing to the
study of combinatorial geometry and tiling theory, polyominoes have
continued to spark interest ever since their inventor, Solomon Golomb,
introduced them to puzzle enthusiasts several decades ago. In this
fully revised and expanded edition of his landmark book, the author
takes a new generation of readers on a mathematical journey into the
world of the deceptively simple polyomino. Golomb incorporates
important, recent developments, and poses problems, inviting the
reader to play with and develop an understanding of the extraordinary
properties of polyominoes.
