One of the symmetry groups of the Platonic solids. There are three polyhedral groups: the tetrahedral group of order 12, the octahedral group of order 24, and the icosahedral ...

A point at which three or more polyhedron edges of a polyhedron meet. The concept can also be generalized to a polytope.

A loose term for a true statement which may be a postulate, theorem, etc.

A data structure designed to allow repeated extraction of the smallest remaining key (Skiena 1990, p. 38).

A distance g on a set that fulfils the same properties as a metric except relaxes the definition to allow the distance between two different points to be zero. An example of ...

A pyritohedron is an irregular dodecahedron composed of identical irregular pentagons. The name "pyritohedron" derives from that fact that a common crystal form in pyrite has ...

The distance from the center of a circle to its perimeter, or from the center of a sphere to its surface. The radius is equal to half the diameter.

sigma=1/tau, where tau is the torsion. The symbol phi is also sometimes used instead of sigma.

A random composition of a number n in k parts is one of the (n+k-1; n) possible compositions of n, where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient. A random composition can be given ...

A random partition of a number n is one of the P(n) possible partitions of n, where P(n) is the partition function P. A random partition can be given by RandomPartition[n] in ...
