The dihedral group D_4 is one of the two non-Abelian groups of the five groups total of group order 8. It is sometimes called the octic group. An example of D_4 is the ...

Barycentric coordinates are triples of numbers (t_1,t_2,t_3) corresponding to masses placed at the vertices of a reference triangle DeltaA_1A_2A_3. These masses then ...

There are three types of cubic lattices corresponding to three types of cubic close packing, as summarized in the following table. Now that the Kepler conjecture has been ...

The ding-dong surface is the cubic surface of revolution given by the equation x^2+y^2=(1-z)z^2 (1) (Hauser 2003) that is closely related to the kiss surface. The surface can ...

The "echidnahedron" is the term for the spiky fourth icosahedron stellation (in the enumeration of Maeder 1994) apparently first used in the Netlib polyhedron database. It is ...

The surface of revolution given by the parametric equations x(u,v) = cosusin(2v) (1) y(u,v) = sinusin(2v) (2) z(u,v) = sinv (3) for u in [0,2pi) and v in [-pi/2,pi/2]. It is ...

The elongated dodecahedron, also known as the extended rhombic dodecahedron and rhombo-hexagonal dodecahedron, is a space-filling polyhedron and primary parallelohedron ...

Informally, self-similar objects with parameters N and s are described by a power law such as N=s^d, where d=(lnN)/(lns) is the "dimension" of the scaling law, known as the ...

The Hodge conjecture asserts that, for particularly nice types of spaces called projective algebraic varieties, the pieces called Hodge cycles are actually rational linear ...

The kiss surface is the quintic surface of revolution given by the equation x^2+y^2=(1-z)z^4 (1) that is closely related to the ding-dong surface. It is so named because the ...
