As a final example of a problem in mathematics which is non-recursive, let us consider the question of covering the Euclidean plane with polygonal shapes, where we are given a finite number of different such shapes and we ask whether it is possible to cover the plane completely, without gaps or overlaps, using just these shapes and no others. Such an arrangement of shapes is called a tiling of the plane.
