A prolate spheroid is a spheroid that is "pointy" instead of "squashed," i.e., one for which the polar radius c is greater than the equatorial radius a, so c>a (called ...

Reciprocation is an incidence-preserving transformation in which points are transformed into their polars. A projective geometry-like duality principle holds for ...

A polyhedron is rigid if it cannot be continuously deformed into another configuration. A rigid polyhedron may have two or more stable forms which cannot be continuously ...

The small ditrigonal icosidodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 30 (Maeder 1997), Weinninger index 70 (Wenninger 1971, p. 106-107), Coxeter index 39 ...

The small dodecicosidodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 33 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 72 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 42 (Coxeter et al. 1954), ...

The small stellated truncated dodecahedron, also called the quasitruncated small stellated dodecahedron, is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 58 (Maeder 1997), ...

The snub dodecadodecahedron, not to be confused with the Archimdean snub dodecahedron, is the uniform polyhedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 40 (Maeder 1997), ...

Sphere line picking is the selection of pairs of points corresponding to vertices of a line segment with endpoints on the surface of a sphere. n random line segments can be ...

The stellated truncated hexahedron (Maeder 1997), also called the quasitruncated hexahedron (Wenninger 1989, p. 144), is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 19 (Maeder ...

A toroidal polyhedron is a polyhedron with genus g>=1 (i.e., one having one or more holes). Examples of toroidal polyhedra include the Császár polyhedron and Szilassi ...
