The regular hendecagon is the regular polygon with 11 sides, as illustrated above, and has Schläfli symbol {11}. The regular hendecagon cannot be constructed using the ...

The regular nonagon is the regular polygon with nine sides and Schläfli symbol {9}. The regular nonagon cannot be constructed using the classical Greek rules of geometric ...

A prime which does not divide the class number h(p) of the cyclotomic field obtained by adjoining a primitive pth root of unity to the field of rationals. A prime p is ...

Consider a two-dimensional tessellation with q regular p-gons at each polygon vertex. In the plane, (1-2/p)pi=(2pi)/q (1) 1/p+1/q=1/2, (2) so (p-2)(q-2)=4 (3) (Ball and ...

A polygon that can be dissected into n smaller copies of itself is called a rep-n-tile. The triangular polygonal spiral is also a rep-tile. The above figure shows the zeroth ...

A figurate number which is constructed as a centered cube with a square pyramid appended to each face, RhoDod_n = CCub_n+6P_(n-1)^((4)) (1) = (2n-1)(2n^2-2n+1), (2) where ...

By a suitable rearrangement of terms, a conditionally convergent series may be made to converge to any desired value, or to diverge. For example, S = 1-1/2+1/3-1/4+1/5+... ...

A right angle is an angle equal to half the angle from one end of a line segment to the other. A right angle is pi/2 radians or 90 degrees. A triangle containing a right ...

Sprague (1963) considered the problem of "rolling" five cubes, each which an upright letter "A" on its top, on a chessboard. Here "rolling" means the cubes are moved from ...

A formula for the permanent of a matrix perm(a_(ij))=(-1)^nsum_(s subset= {1,...,n})(-1)^(|s|)product_(i=1)^nsum_(j in s)a_(ij), where the sum is over all subsets of ...
