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.
