Summary
We briefly review the standard methods used to construct quasiperiodic tilings, such as the projection, the inflation and the grid method. A number of sample Mathematica programs, implementing the different approaches for oneand two-dimensional examples, are discussed. Apart from small examples, the corresponding programs are not contained in the text, but are archived on the WWW.
