Johnson solid J_(88).

Find the tunnel between two points A and B on a gravitating sphere which gives the shortest transit time under the force of gravity. Assume the sphere to be nonrotating, of ...

A curve on the surface of a sphere. Examples include the baseball cover, Seiffert's spherical spiral, spherical helix, and spherical spiral.

A spherical shell is a generalization of an annulus to three dimensions. A spherical shell is therefore the region between two concentric spheres of differing radii. The ...

The inversion of a spindle torus. If the inversion center lies on the torus, then the spindle cyclide degenerates to a parabolic spindle cyclide.

A circle surrounded by a square looks larger than the same circle surrounding a square.

The square antiprism is the antiprism with square bases whose dual is the tetragonal trapezohedron. The square antiprism has 10 faces. The square antiprism with unit edge ...

Johnson solid J_4. The bottom eight polyhedron vertices are (+/-1/2(1+sqrt(2)),+/-1/2,0),(+/-1/2,+/-1/2(1+sqrt(2)),0), and the top four polyhedron vertices are ...

The areas of the regions illustrated above can be found from the equations A+4B+4C=1 (1) A+3B+2C=1/4pi. (2) Since we want to solve for three variables, we need a third ...

A star polygon-like figure {p/q} for which p and q are not relatively prime. Examples include the hexagram {6/2}, star of Lakshmi {8/2}, and nonagram {9/3}.
