  2. List of mathematical shapes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_shapes

    For example, in a polyhedron (3-dimensional polytope), a face is a facet, an edge is a ridge, and a vertex is a peak. Vertex figure: not itself an element of a polytope, but a diagram showing how the elements meet.

  3. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

    A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior. Solid geometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solids, including pyramids , prisms (and other polyhedrons ), cubes , cylinders , cones (and truncated cones ).

  4. Point groups in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_groups_in_three...

    The following table lists several notations for point groups: Hermann–Mauguin notation (used in crystallography), Schönflies notation (used to describe molecular symmetry), orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation. The latter three are not only conveniently related to its properties, but also to the order of the group.

  5. List of uniform polyhedra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_uniform_polyhedra

    John Skilling discovered an overlooked degenerate example, by relaxing the condition that only two faces may meet at an edge. This is a degenerate uniform polyhedron rather than a uniform polyhedron, because some pairs of edges coincide. Not included are: The uniform polyhedron compounds.

  6. Platonic solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

    The Platonic solids have been known since antiquity. It has been suggested that certain carved stone balls created by the late Neolithic people of Scotland represent these shapes; however, these balls have rounded knobs rather than being polyhedral, the numbers of knobs frequently differed from the numbers of vertices of the Platonic solids, there is no ball whose knobs match the 20 vertices ...

  7. Solid modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_modeling

    Solid modeling (or solid modelling) is a consistent set of principles for mathematical and computer modeling of three-dimensional shapes . Solid modeling is distinguished within the broader related areas of geometric modeling and computer graphics, such as 3D modeling, by its emphasis on physical fidelity. [1]

  8. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    It is an example of many classes of polyhedra: Platonic solid, regular polyhedron, parallelohedron, zonohedron, and plesiohedron. The dual polyhedron of a cube is the regular octahedron. The cube is the three-dimensional hypercube, a family of polytopes also including the two-dimensional square and four-dimensional tesseract.

  9. Face (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(geometry)

    In solid geometry, a face is a flat surface (a planar region) that forms part of the boundary of a solid object.For example, a cube has six faces in this sense.. In more modern treatments of the geometry of polyhedra and higher-dimensional polytopes, a "face" is defined in such a way that it may have any dimension.
