The dodecadodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 36 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 73 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 45 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and Har'El ...

"Escher's solid" is the solid illustrated on the right pedestal in M. C. Escher's Waterfall woodcut (Bool et al. 1982, p. 323). It is obtained by augmenting a rhombic ...

Eternity is a puzzle devised by Christopher Monckton and consisting of 209 pieces, each of which is a 12-polydrafter (i.e., a compound of 30-60-90 triangles). The puzzle was ...

The Euler triangle of a triangle DeltaABC is the triangle DeltaE_AE_BE_C whose vertices are the midpoints of the segments joining the orthocenter H with the respective ...

The W polynomials obtained by setting p(x)=x and q(x)=1 in the Lucas polynomial sequence. (The corresponding w polynomials are called Lucas polynomials.) They have explicit ...

The generalized Gell-Mann matrices are the n^2-1 matrices generating the Lie algebra associated to the special unitary group SU(n), n>=2. As their name suggests, these ...

A board covered by a lattice of pegs around which one can span rubber bands to form segments and polygons. It was invented by the Egyptian mathematician and pedagogist Caleb ...

The Greek problems of antiquity were a set of geometric problems whose solution was sought using only compass and straightedge: 1. circle squaring. 2. cube duplication. 3. ...

The great truncated cuboctahedron (Maeder 1997), also called the quasitruncated cuboctahedron (Wenninger 1989, p. 145), is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 20 (Maeder ...

The Hankel transform (of order zero) is an integral transform equivalent to a two-dimensional Fourier transform with a radially symmetric integral kernel and also called the ...
