One person can really make a difference. Thank you!

Your writing is clear and your math skills are, in theory, great (see what I tried to do there?). As a history person, I am in awe of anyone who can do what you did in this research. You are amazing!

In the “Tiling Modified Rectangles with Ribbon Tiles” section of the poster, the results that were my own are Theorem 3.4 and Lemma 3.1 and 3.2. In the “Tiling Rectangles with L-Pentominoes” section, all the theorems and lemmas are new results that I proved myself.

It’s been a long time since I thought about combinatorics and tessellation (though the latter came up in my Green Shade: Poems in Place class’ visit to the art museum yesterday). I love how clear and elegant the poster is for a non-expert, and I now have Square 1 TV and/or Tetris music stuck in my head . . .
