Let Delta denote an integral convex polytope of dimension n in a lattice M, and let l_Delta(k) denote the number of lattice points in Delta dilated by a factor of the integer ...

"Escher's solid" is the solid illustrated on the right pedestal in M. C. Escher's Waterfall woodcut (Bool et al. 1982, p. 323). It is obtained by augmenting a rhombic ...

A Fermat prime is a Fermat number F_n=2^(2^n)+1 that is prime. Fermat primes are therefore near-square primes. Fermat conjectured in 1650 that every Fermat number is prime ...

A Gaussian sum is a sum of the form S(p,q)=sum_(r=0)^(q-1)e^(-piir^2p/q), (1) where p and q are relatively prime integers. The symbol phi is sometimes used instead of S. ...

In his monumental treatise Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, Gauss conjectured that the class number h(-d) of an imaginary quadratic field with binary quadratic form discriminant ...

The Golay code is a perfect linear error-correcting code. There are two essentially distinct versions of the Golay code: a binary version and a ternary version. The binary ...

The golden triangle, sometimes also called the sublime triangle, is an isosceles triangle such that the ratio of the hypotenuse a to base b is equal to the golden ratio, ...

The great cubicuboctahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 14 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 77 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 50 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and ...

The great ditrigonal dodecicosidodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 42 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 81 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 54 (Coxeter et ...

The great icosidodecahedron, not to be confused with the great icosahedron or great icosicosidodecahedron, is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 54 (Maeder 1997), ...
