The small dodecahemidodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 51 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 91 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 65 (Coxeter et al. 1954), ...

Approximations to Catalan's constant include K approx (9/(10))^(5/6) (1) approx ln(ln892)-1 (2) approx (1/(96))^(1/52) (3) approx (4/(51))^(1/29) (4) approx ...

The Barth sextic is a sextic surface in complex three-dimensional projective space having the maximum possible number of ordinary double points, namely 65. The surface was ...

A number of attractive cube 10-compounds can be constructed. The first can be obtained by beginning with an initial cube and rotating it by an angle theta=sin^(-1)(sqrt(3/8)) ...

Ramanujan developed a number of interesting closed-form expressions for generalized continued fractions. These include the almost integers ...

The dual of Brianchon's theorem (Casey 1888, p. 146), discovered by B. Pascal in 1640 when he was just 16 years old (Leibniz 1640; Wells 1986, p. 69). It states that, given a ...

A great circle is a section of a sphere that contains a diameter of the sphere (Kern and Bland 1948, p. 87). Sections of the sphere that do not contain a diameter are called ...

A curve of order n is generally determined by n(n+3)/2 points. So a conic section is determined by five points and a cubic curve should require nine. But the Maclaurin-Bézout ...

A cone with elliptical cross section. The parametric equations for an elliptic cone of height h, semimajor axis a, and semiminor axis b are x = a(h-u)/hcosv (1) y = ...

An elliptic cylinder is a cylinder with an elliptical cross section. The elliptic cylinder is a quadratic ruled surface. The parametric equations for the laterals sides of an ...
