The ``cosine formula discovered independently in 1961 by P. W. Kasteleyn and by the reviewer and \textit{M. Fisher} [Philos. Mag., VIII. Ser. 6, 1061-1063 (1961; Zbl 0126.25102)] for the number of domino tilings of a rectangle is related to other combinatorial results such as the enumeration of domino ``heaps which are also related to Chebyshev polynomials (which enumerate Dyck or Motzkin paths on a certain lattice) and pairs of complementary path systems are related to systems of trivial heaps by a determinantal product described as the resultant.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINENo proofs of the many results and relationships quoted are given but are ``illustrated by a typical example, or the literature is referred to.
