Summary We present an alternate proof for the Desnanot-Jacobi identity using induction, basic matrix algebra and elementary differential calculus. It is an instructive demonstration of how it is occasionally necessary to utilize results from different fields of mathematics to solve a specific problem.

Summary For four decades, Mathematics Magazine has chronicled the quest to find all convex pentagons that tile the plane. Illustrating this story physically leads to the question: What integer-sided convex pentagons tile the plane? Using results from classical number theory along with convexity and continuity principles, we provide a complete answer to this question.

Summary The Moser spindle, a seemingly simple geometric object with seven vertices and 11 line segments of unit distance, was first introduced in the early 1960s. This article shows that the Moser spindle still plays a major role in the search for solutions to some of the most intriguing open problems in discrete geometry. Specifically, the problem of finding the chromatic number of the plane and the problem of finding the fractional chromatic number of the plane.
