I realy should have deffined the question i guess.After searching for a way to remember the position of a given number effectively any number that you care to...
i need 3D coordinates of vertices, preferably for the figure with 60 isosceles triangles each with height:base = 5:6. then i can show what the map looks like...
Hello all, I've just joined this group and thought I'd plunge in with a question: Is there a good or elegant way to plaid the surface of a tetrahedron (or any...
My solution to this is to alter your view of why plaiding a cube works. The stripes are not just perpendicular to each other, they are parallel to the edges....

paul, here's a woven stellated octahedron i made. perhaps it will show you some new ways in which to find more such polyhedral weavings. -melinda...
--a bit related to the plaid polyhedra idea-- Jay Bonner created an amazing paper polyhedra kit called Geodazzlers which neatly pop out of preforated pages and...
Thanks for all the responses to my question! I'm intending to use strips of clay, by the way, around a paper polyhedron. The kiln will burn off the paper and...
Anyone know of a proof that a square/rectangle cannot be divided into entirely right-angled triangles, such that no smaller square/rectangle is produced? Jon...
(doesn't gel that well) Anyone know of a proof that a square/rectangle cannot be divided into entirely right-angled triangles, such that no square/rectangle is...
Anyone know of a proof that a square/rectangle cannot be divided into entirely right-angled triangles, such that no square/rectangle is produced by a 2 of the...

hello Polytopians, I have been uploading various images that i have been collecting over the last year or so to the Files section of Polytopia. There are...
hi dan . . . hope you liked my make-your-own pentakis-dodecahedron-globe project. if you're interested in how higher-dimensional geometry relates to other...
Thank you all for the wonderful information you have provided me with thus far. I would also like to add that any magickians involved herein please consider...
Can anyone recommend such software. I would like to be able to work with a three-dimensional x,y,z coordinate system using a computer program on a Macintosh to...
... some of the best programs for these sorts of things are mathematica and matlab. these may be out of your budgetary range, but both have tons of great...
'are you sure the conjecture doesn't require that all edges be straight lines?' They are all straight lines, but I think you are right in essence - the ...
Hi all, I'm new to this group adn I'd to ask something about the mobius strip. If one were to cut along its equator is it true that it results in two twists...
Hi Michelle, Any time that you have an odd number of half twists the form has only one edge. If you cut any of these shapes down the middle, you add an extra...
Thanks very much. Now I'm not so confused because there are 2 full twists, and 4 half twists. When i read on the net these two different numbers, I was...
Hi Polytopians i am new to this group - it looks great! On to my plea fro help... i am currently developing a program called TesselSphere which generates...
Hi, I looked at some pictures of it. It seems that each face of the icosahedron that is the underlying framework of this dome is divided into 192 equilateral...
