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.

The elongated gyrobifastigium, which could also be called an elongated digonal gyrobicupola, is a family of octahedra obtained by elongating the gyrobifastigium with four ...

An n-gonal pyramid adjoined to an n-gonal prism.

Define the Euler measure of a polyhedral set as the Euler integral of its indicator function. It is easy to show by induction that the Euler measure of a closed bounded ...

Expansion is an affine transformation (sometimes called an enlargement or dilation) in which the scale is increased. It is the opposite of a geometric contraction, and is ...

Generally, a face is a component polygon, polyhedron, or polytope. A two-dimensional face thus has vertices and edges, and can be used to make cells. More formally, a face is ...

An (n-1)-dimensional face of an n-dimensional polytope. A procedure for generating facets is known as faceting.
