A tiling of regular polygons (in two dimensions), polyhedra (three dimensions), or polytopes (n dimensions) is called a tessellation. Tessellations can be specified using a ...

A dipyramid, also called a bipyramid, consists of two pyramids symmetrically placed base-to-base. The dipyramids are duals of the regular prisms. Their skeletons are the ...

A hedgehog is an envelope parameterized by its Gauss map (Martinez-Maure 1996). Viewed another way, a hedgehog is a Minkowski difference of a convex body (Martinez-Maure ...

The hexagram is the star polygon {6/2}, also known as the star of David or Solomon's seal, illustrated at left above. It appears as one of the clues in the novel The Da Vinci ...

The Lorenz curve is used in economics and ecology to describe inequality in wealth or size. The Lorenz curve is a function of the cumulative proportion of ordered individuals ...

If a points A^', B^', and C^' are marked on each side of a triangle DeltaABC, one on each side (or on a side's extension), then the three Miquel circles (each through a ...

A closed planar quadrilateral with opposite sides of equal lengths a and b, and with four right angles. A square is a degenerate rectangle with a=b. The area of the rectangle ...

The point T at which the lines through the polygon vertices of a triangle perpendicular to the corresponding sides of the first Brocard triangle, are concurrent. The Tarry ...

Take any triangle with polygon vertices A, B, and C. Pick a point A_1 on the side opposite A, and draw a line parallel to BC. Upon reaching the side AC at B_1, draw the line ...

Trigonometric functions of npi/7 for n an integer cannot be expressed in terms of sums, products, and finite root extractions on real rational numbers because 7 is not a ...
