In geometry, an apeirogonal prism or infinite prism is the arithmetic limit of the family of prisms; it can be considered an infinite polyhedron or a tiling of the plane.[1]
Thorold Gosset called it a 2-dimensional semi-check, like a single row of a checkerboard.[citation needed]
If the sides are squares, it is a uniform tiling. If colored with two sets of alternating squares it is still uniform.[citation needed]
