摘要
We construct a hierarchical tiling of 3 dimensional Euclidean space based on a triangular prism, using repeated rotations, about orthogonal axes, by angles 2 pi/m and 2 pi/n. To analyze the structure of the tiling we are led to determine the group G(m, n) generated by such a pair of rotations, for m = n = 3 and for m = 3, n = 4.
