  2. Rhombicosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicosidodecahedron

    Two clusters of faces of the bilunabirotunda, the lunes (each lune featuring two triangles adjacent to opposite sides of one square), can be aligned with a congruent patch of faces on the rhombicosidodecahedron. If two bilunabirotundae are aligned this way on opposite sides of the rhombicosidodecahedron, then a cube can be put between the ...

  3. Problem of Apollonius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_Apollonius

    To show this, Gergonne considered lines through corresponding points of tangency on two of the given circles, e.g., the line defined by A 1 /A 2 and the line defined by B 1 /B 2. Let X 3 be a center of similitude for the two circles C 1 and C 2 ; then, A 1 / A 2 and B 1 / B 2 are pairs of antihomologous points , and their lines intersect at X 3 .

  4. Mathematics of Sudoku - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_Sudoku

    A Sudoku with 24 clues, dihedral symmetry (a 90° rotational symmetry, which also includes a symmetry on both orthogonal axis, 180° rotational symmetry, and diagonal symmetry) is known to exist, but it is not known if this number of clues is minimal for this class of Sudoku.

  5. Egyptian fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_fraction

    In the rare case that these other methods all fail, Fibonacci suggests a "greedy" algorithm for computing Egyptian fractions, in which one repeatedly chooses the unit fraction with the smallest denominator that is no larger than the remaining fraction to be expanded: that is, in more modern notation, we replace a fraction ⁠ x / y ⁠ by the ...

  6. Coin problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_problem

    Frobenius coin problem with 2-pence and 5-pence coins visualised as graphs: Sloping lines denote graphs of 2x+5y=n where n is the total in pence, and x and y are the non-negative number of 2p and 5p coins, respectively. A point on a line gives a combination of 2p and 5p for its given total (green).

  7. Polyomino - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyomino

    no symmetry; 2-fold rotational symmetry: C 2; 4-fold rotational symmetry: C 4; 1 one-sided polyomino for each free polyomino: all symmetry of the square: D 4; mirror symmetry with respect to one of the grid line directions; mirror symmetry with respect to a diagonal line; symmetry with respect to both grid line directions, and hence also 2-fold ...

  8. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  9. Brillouin zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brillouin_zone

    The boundaries of this cell are given by planes related to points on the reciprocal lattice. The importance of the Brillouin zone stems from the description of waves in a periodic medium given by Bloch's theorem, in which it is found that the solutions can be completely characterized by their behavior in a single Brillouin zone.
