Small Stellapentakis Dodecahedron
In geometry, the small stellapentakis dodecahedron is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the truncated great dodecahedron In geometry, the truncated great dodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U37. It has 24 faces (12 Pentagram, pentagrams and 12 Decagon, decagons), 90 edges, and 60 vertices. It is given a Schläfli symbol t. Related polyhedra .... It has 60 intersecting triangular faces. Proportions The triangles have two acute angles of \arccos(\frac+\frac\sqrt)\approx 18.699\,407\,085\,149^ and one obtuse angle of \arccos(\frac-\frac\sqrt)\approx 142.601\,185\,829\,70^. The dihedral angle equals \arccos(\frac)\approx 149.099\,125\,827\,35^. Part of each triangle lies within the solid, hence is invisible in solid models.

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 ...

Isohedral Figure
In geometry, a tessellation of dimension (a plane tiling) or higher, or a polytope of dimension (a polyhedron) or higher, is isohedral or face-transitive if all its Face (geometry), faces are the same. More specifically, all faces must be not merely Congruence (geometry), congruent but must be ''transitive'', i.e. must lie within the same ''symmetry orbit''. In other words, for any two faces and , there must be a symmetry of the ''entire'' figure by Translation (geometry), translations, Rotation (mathematics), rotations, and/or Reflection (mathematics), reflections that maps onto . For this reason, Convex polytope, convex isohedral polyhedra are the shapes that will make fair dice. Isohedral polyhedra are called isohedra. They can be described by their face configuration. An isohedron has an Parity (mathematics), even number of faces. The Dual polyhedron, dual of an isohedral polyhedron is vertex-transitive, i.e. isogonal.

Polyhedron
In geometry, a polyhedron (: polyhedra or polyhedrons; ) is a three-dimensional figure with flat polygonal Face (geometry), faces, straight Edge (geometry), edges and sharp corners or Vertex (geometry), vertices. The term "polyhedron" may refer either to a solid figure or to its boundary surface (mathematics), surface. The terms solid polyhedron and polyhedral surface are commonly used to distinguish the two concepts. Also, the term ''polyhedron'' is often used to refer implicitly to the whole structure (mathematics), structure formed by a solid polyhedron, its polyhedral surface, its faces, its edges, and its vertices. There are many definitions of polyhedron. Nevertheless, the polyhedron is typically understood as a generalization of a two-dimensional polygon and a three-dimensional specialization of a polytope, a more general concept in any number of dimensions. Polyhedra have several general characteristics that include the number of faces, topological classification by Eule ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dual Polyhedron
In geometry, every polyhedron is associated with a second dual structure, where the vertices of one correspond to the faces of the other, and the edges between pairs of vertices of one correspond to the edges between pairs of faces of the other. Such dual figures remain combinatorial or abstract polyhedra, but not all can also be constructed as geometric polyhedra. Starting with any given polyhedron, the dual of its dual is the original polyhedron. Duality preserves the symmetries of a polyhedron. Therefore, for many classes of polyhedra defined by their symmetries, the duals belong to a corresponding symmetry class. For example, the regular polyhedrathe (convex) Platonic solids and (star) Kepler–Poinsot polyhedraform dual pairs, where the regular tetrahedron is self-dual. The dual of an isogonal polyhedron (one in which any two vertices are equivalent under symmetries of the polyhedron) is an isohedral polyhedron (one in which any two faces are equivalent .., and vice ...

Truncated Great Dodecahedron
In geometry, the truncated great dodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U37. It has 24 faces (12 Pentagram, pentagrams and 12 Decagon, decagons), 90 edges, and 60 vertices. It is given a Schläfli symbol t. Related polyhedra It shares its vertex arrangement with three other uniform polyhedron, uniform polyhedra: the nonconvex great rhombicosidodecahedron, the great dodecicosidodecahedron, and the great rhombidodecahedron; and with the Polyhedron compound#Uniform compounds, uniform compounds of compound of six pentagonal prisms, 6 or compound of twelve pentagonal prisms, 12 pentagonal prisms. This polyhedron is the Truncation (geometry), truncation of the great dodecahedron: The Truncation (geometry), truncated small stellated dodecahedron looks like a dodecahedron on the surface, but it has 24 faces, 12 pentagons from the truncated vertices and 12 overlapping as (truncated pentagrams).

Cambridge University Press
Cambridge University Press was the university press of the University of Cambridge. Granted a letters patent by King Henry VIII in 1534, it was the oldest university press in the world. Cambridge University Press merged with Cambridge Assessment to form Cambridge University Press and Assessment under Queen Elizabeth II's approval in August 2021. With a global sales presence, publishing hubs, and offices in more than 40 countries, it published over 50,000 titles by authors from over 100 countries. Its publications include more than 420 academic journals, monographs, reference works, school and university textbooks, and English language teaching and learning publications. It also published Bibles, runs a bookshop in Cambridge, sells through Amazon, and has a conference venues business in Cambridge at the Pitt Building and the Sir Geoffrey Cass Sports and Social Centre. It also served as the King's Printer. Cambridge University Press, as part of the University of Cambridge, was a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nonconvex Polyhedra
In geometry, a uniform star polyhedron is a self-intersecting uniform polyhedron. They are also sometimes called nonconvex polyhedra to imply self-intersecting. Each polyhedron can contain either star polygon faces, star polygon vertex figures, or both. The complete set of 57 nonprismatic uniform star polyhedra includes the 4 regular ones, called the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedron, Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra, 14 Quasiregular polyhedron#Nonconvex examples, quasiregular ones, and 39 semiregular ones. There are also two infinite sets of Uniform_polyhedron#.28p_2_2.29_Prismatic_.5Bp.2C2.5D.2C_I2.28p.29_family_.28Dph_dihedral_symmetry.29, ''uniform star prisms'' and ''uniform star antiprisms''. Just as (nondegenerate) star polygons (which have density (polytope), polygon density greater than 1) correspond to circular polygons with overlapping Tessellation, tiles, star polyhedra that do not pass through the center have polytope density greater than 1, and correspond to spherical polyhe ...
