Back when I had more time (an idiotic statement, since I have exactly as much time now as I did before (though perhaps that statement is even more idiotic, since I have markedly less time now than I did "back then" whenever "back then" was)) I used to trawl the interweb for interesting syllabi on subjects I didn't know much about, but wanted to learn.

I just found a really good one, quite by accident, as I was searching for an image of a triskelion, in particular one of those three-legged symbols that looks more Gnostic than not. And the syllabus is from a Mathematics course at Dartmouth onGeometry in Art and Architecture, and includes a bunch of essays and pictures, including this a picture of a Penrose tiling, and which led me to this page about Penrose tilings, also known as "aperiodic tilings" at The Geometry Junkyard, which, if you're at all a geek, is a huge resource of many fascinating things, those things being geometrical things.
