The Five Sides of Marjorie Rice reveals one woman's interest and journey in discovering several five sided tessellating shapes that can cover a surface and fit together indefinitely. 

Amy Alznauer tells the fascinating story of how a woman with no formal mathematical training discovers astonishing shapes.  It reveals a fun idea to approach geometry through art.  Bron's illustrations enjoyably lift the story and show us many of the wonderful shapes and surfaces.
