Truncated Triheptagonal Tiling
In geometry, the truncated triheptagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. There is one square, one hexagon, and one tetradecagon (14-sides) on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of Uniform colorings There is only one uniform coloring of a truncated triheptagonal tiling. (Naming the colors by indices around a vertex: 123.) Symmetry Each triangle in this dual tiling, order 3-7 kisrhombille, represent a fundamental domain of the Wythoff construction for the symmetry group ,3 Related polyhedra and tilings This tiling can be considered a member of a sequence of uniform patterns with vertex figure (4.6.2p) and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram . For ''p'' < 6, the members of the sequence are omnitruncated polyhedra (zonohedrons), shown below as spherical tilings. For ''p'' > 6, they are tilings of the hyperbolic plane, starting with the truncated triheptagonal tiling. From a Wythoff construction there are eight hyperbolic uniform tilings that can b ...

Geometry
Geometry (; ) is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a ''List of geometers, geometer''. Until the 19th century, geometry was almost exclusively devoted to Euclidean geometry, which includes the notions of point (geometry), point, line (geometry), line, plane (geometry), plane, distance, angle, surface (mathematics), surface, and curve, as fundamental concepts. Originally developed to model the physical world, geometry has applications in almost all sciences, and also in art, architecture, and other activities that are related to graphics. Geometry also has applications in areas of mathematics that are apparently unrelated. For example, methods of algebraic geometry are fundamental in Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Wiles's proof of Fermat's ...

Heptagonal Tiling
In geometry, the heptagonal tiling is a regular hyperbolic tiling, regular tiling of the Hyperbolic geometry, hyperbolic plane. It is represented by Schläfli symbol of , having three regular heptagons around each vertex. Images Related polyhedra and tilings This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of regular polyhedra with Schläfli symbol . From a Wythoff construction there are eight hyperbolic Uniform tilings in hyperbolic plane, uniform tilings that can be based from the regular heptagonal tiling. Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 8 forms. Hurwitz surfaces The symmetry group of the tiling is the (2,3,7) triangle group, and a fundamental domain for this action is the (2,3,7) Schwarz triangle. This is the smallest hyperbolic Schwarz triangle, and thus, by the proof of Hurwitz's automorphisms theorem, the tiling is the universal tiling that covers al ...

Hyperbolic Tilings
In hyperbolic geometry, a uniform hyperbolic tiling (or regular, quasiregular or semiregular hyperbolic tiling) is an edge-to-edge filling of the hyperbolic plane which has regular polygons as Face (geometry), faces and is vertex-transitive (Transitive group action, transitive on its vertex (geometry), vertices, isogonal, i.e. there is an isometry mapping any vertex onto any other). It follows that all vertices are Congruence (geometry), congruent, and the tessellation, tiling has a high degree of rotational and translational symmetry. Uniform tilings can be identified by their vertex configuration, a sequence of numbers representing the number of sides of the polygons around each vertex. For example, 7.7.7 represents the heptagonal tiling which has 3 heptagons around each vertex. It is also regular since all the polygons are the same size, so it can also be given the Schläfli symbol . Uniform tilings may be Regular polyhedron, regular (if also face- and edge-transitive), quasi- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

John Horton Conway
John Horton Conway (26 December 1937 – 11 April 2020) was an English mathematician. He was active in the theory of finite groups, knot theory, number theory, combinatorial game theory and coding theory. He also made contributions to many branches of recreational mathematics, most notably the invention of the cellular automaton called the Game of Life. Born and raised in Liverpool, Conway spent the first half of his career at the University of Cambridge before moving to the United States, where he held the John von Neumann Professorship at Princeton University for the rest of his career. On 11 April 2020, at age 82, he died of complications from COVID-19. Early life and education Conway was born on 26 December 1937 in Liverpool, the son of Cyril Horton Conway and Agnes Boyce. He became interested in mathematics at a very early age. By the time he was 11, his ambition was to become a mathematician. After leaving sixth form, he studied mathematics at Gonville and Caius Coll ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

List Of Uniform Planar Tilings
This table shows the 11 convex uniform tilings (regular and semiregular) of the Euclidean plane, and their dual tilings. There are three regular and eight semiregular tilings in the plane. The semiregular tilings form new tilings from their duals, each made from one type of irregular face. John Conway called these uniform duals ''Catalan tilings'', in parallel to the Catalan solid polyhedra. Uniform tilings are listed by their vertex configuration, the sequence of faces that exist on each vertex. For example ''4.8.8'' means one square and two octagons on a vertex. These 11 uniform tilings have 32 different ''uniform colorings''. A uniform coloring allows identical sided polygons at a vertex to be colored differently, while still maintaining vertex-uniformity and transformational congruence between vertices. (Note: Some of the tiling images shown below are ''not'' color-uniform.) In addition to the 11 convex uniform tilings, there are also 14 known nonconvex tilings, using ...

Tilings Of Regular Polygons
Euclidean plane tilings by convex regular polygons have been widely used since antiquity. The first systematic mathematical treatment was that of Kepler in his (Latin: ''The Harmony of the World'', 1619). Notation of Euclidean tilings Euclidean tilings are usually named after Cundy & Rollett’s notation. This notation represents (i) the number of vertices, (ii) the number of polygons around each vertex (arranged clockwise) and (iii) the number of sides to each of those polygons. For example: 36; 36; 34.6, tells us there are 3 vertices with 2 different vertex types, so this tiling would be classed as a ‘3-uniform (2-vertex types)’ tiling. Broken down, 36; 36 (both of different transitivity class), or (36)2, tells us that there are 2 vertices (denoted by the superscript 2), each with 6 equilateral 3-sided polygons (triangles). With a final vertex 34.6, 4 more contiguous equilateral triangles and a single regular hexagon. However, this notation has two main problems relat ...

Uniform Tilings In Hyperbolic Plane
In hyperbolic geometry, a uniform hyperbolic tiling (or regular, quasiregular or semiregular hyperbolic tiling) is an edge-to-edge filling of the hyperbolic plane which has regular polygons as Face (geometry), faces and is vertex-transitive (Transitive group action, transitive on its vertex (geometry), vertices, isogonal, i.e. there is an isometry mapping any vertex onto any other). It follows that all vertices are Congruence (geometry), congruent, and the tessellation, tiling has a high degree of rotational and translational symmetry. Uniform tilings can be identified by their vertex configuration, a sequence of numbers representing the number of sides of the polygons around each vertex. For example, 7.7.7 represents the heptagonal tiling which has 3 heptagons around each vertex.

Zonohedron
In geometry, a zonohedron is a convex polyhedron that is point symmetry, centrally symmetric, every face of which is a polygon that is centrally symmetric (a zonogon). Any zonohedron may equivalently be described as the Minkowski addition, Minkowski sum of a set of line segments in three-dimensional space, or as a three-dimensional Projection (mathematics), projection of a hypercube. Zonohedra were originally defined and studied by Evgraf Stepanovich Fyodorov, E. S. Fedorove, a Russian Crystallography, crystallographer. More generally, in any dimension, the Minkowski sum of line segments forms a polytope known as a zonotope. Zonohedra that tile space The original motivation for studying zonohedra is that the Voronoi diagram of any Lattice (group), lattice forms a convex uniform honeycomb in which the cells are zonohedra. Any zonohedron formed in this way can Honeycomb (geometry), tessellate 3-dimensional space and is called a primary parallelohedron. Each primary parallelohedron ...

Omnitruncation (geometry)
In geometry, an omnitruncation of a convex polytope is a simple polytope of the same dimension, having a vertex for each flag of the original polytope and a facet for each face of any dimension of the original polytope. Omnitruncation is the dual operation to barycentric subdivision. Because the barycentric subdivision of any polytope can be realized as another polytope, the same is true for the omnitruncation of any polytope. When omnitruncation is applied to a regular polytope (or honeycomb) it can be described geometrically as a Wythoff construction that creates a maximum number of facets. It is represented in a Coxeter–Dynkin diagram with all nodes ringed. It is a ''shortcut'' term which has a different meaning in progressively-higher-dimensional polytopes: * Uniform polytope truncation operators ** For regular polygons: An ordinary truncation, t_\ = t\ = \. *** Coxeter-Dynkin diagram ** For uniform polyhedra (3-polytopes): A cantitruncation, t_\ = tr\.
