To generate random points over the unit disk, it is incorrect to use two uniformly distributed variables r in [0,1] and theta in [0,2pi) and then take x = rcostheta (1) y = ...

The ditrigonal dodecadodecahedron, also called the ditrigonal dodecahedron, is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 41 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 80 (Wenninger 1989), ...

The divergence theorem, more commonly known especially in older literature as Gauss's theorem (e.g., Arfken 1985) and also known as the Gauss-Ostrogradsky theorem, is a ...

Let J_nu(z) be a Bessel function of the first kind, Y_nu(z) a Bessel function of the second kind, and K_nu(z) a modified Bessel function of the first kind. Also let R[z]>0 ...

The kissing number of a sphere is 12. This led Fejes Tóth (1943) to conjecture that in any unit sphere packing, the volume of any Voronoi cell around any sphere is at least ...

The dodecahedron-icosahedron compound is a polyhedron compound consisting of a dodecahedron and its dual the icosahedron. In the compound, the dodecahedron and icosahedron ...

The dodecahedron-small triambic icosahedron compound is a stellated form of a truncated icosahedron, but a different truncation than in the truncated icosahedron Archimedean ...

A (general) dodecahedron is a polyhedron having 12 faces. Examples include the Bilinski dodecahedron, decagonal prism, elongated square dipyramid (Johnson solid J_(15)), ...

A number of attractive 2-compounds of the regular dodecahedron can be constructed. The first (left figures) has the symmetry of the cube and arises by combining two regular ...

A compound of five regular dodecahedra with the symmetry of the icosahedron (Wenninger 1983, pp. 145-147) can be constructed by taking a dodecahedron with top and bottom ...
