Geometric Dissections

Bibliography

I particularly recommend the books by Harry Lindgren and Greg Frederickson. Harry Lindgren’s books are a good introduction to geometric dissections. Greg Frederickson’s first book builds on this. His last book is very attractive and introduces many more dissection challenges.
