Archimedean solids

NUMB3RS Episode 406--In Security--Wolfram Research Math Notes

There are 13 Archimedean solids. Each is a special type of polyhedron, a geometric solid whose faces are each flat polygons. An Archimedean solid has faces of at least two types of regular polygons (polygons with sides of equal length). For instance, a cuboctahedron has 14 faces—eight triangles and six squares. An icosidodecahedron has 32 faces—20 triangles and 12 pentagons. In an Archimedean solid, the faces are arranged so that the corners are all alike.

Download scientific diagram | The Archimedean Solids, corresponding to the semi-regular tessellations of the plane. from publication: Gauge Theories, Tessellations & Riemann Surfaces | We study and classify regular and semi-regular tessellations of Riemann surfaces of various genera and investigate their corresponding supersymmetric gauge theories. These tessellations are generalizations of brane tilings, or bipartite graphs on the torus as well as the... | Gauge Theory, Riemann Surfaces and…
