A surface of revolution of the form r(phi)=a[1-esin^2phi-(3/8e^2+k)sin^2(2phi)], where k is a second-order correction to the figure of a rotating fluid.

The convex hulls of the small cubicuboctahedron U_(13), small rhombihexahedron U_(18), and stellated truncated hexahedron U_(19) are all the Archimedean small ...

A dihedron is a regular tiling or map on a sphere composed of two regular p-gons, each occupying a hemisphere and with edge lengths of 2pi/p on a unit sphere. Its Schläfli ...

A tetrahedron with identical isosceles or scalene faces.

Two cones placed apex to apex. The double cone is given by algebraic equation (z^2)/(c^2)=(x^2+y^2)/(a^2).

The double sphere is the degenerate quartic surface (x^2+y^2+z^2-r^2)^2=0 obtained by squaring the left-hand side of the equation of a usual sphere x^2+y^2+z^2-r^2=0.

A sphere with two handles and two holes, i.e., a genus-2 torus.

An ellipsoidal section is the curve formed by the intersection of a plane with an ellipsoid. An ellipsoidal section is always an ellipse.

Given a spheroid with equatorial radius a and polar radius c, the ellipticity is defined by e={sqrt((a^2-c^2)/(a^2)) c<a (oblate spheroid); sqrt((c^2-a^2)/(c^2)) c>a (prolate ...

A n-gonal cupola adjoined to a 2n-gonal prism.
