  2. Cannonball problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonball_problem

    A triangular-pyramid version of the cannonball problem, which is to yield a perfect square from the N th Tetrahedral number, would have N = 48. That means that the (24 × 2 = ) 48th tetrahedral number equals to (70 2 × 2 2 = 140 2 = ) 19600. This is comparable with the 24th square pyramid having a total of 70 2 cannonballs. [5]

  3. Tetrahedral number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_number

    A tetrahedral number, or triangular pyramidal number, is a figurate number that represents a pyramid with a triangular base and three sides, called a tetrahedron. The n th tetrahedral number, Te n , is the sum of the first n triangular numbers , that is,

  4. Truncated triangular pyramid number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_Triangular...

    A pyramid with side length 5 contains 35 spheres. Each layer represents one of the first five triangular numbers. A truncated triangular pyramid number [1] is found by removing some smaller tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number) from each of the vertices of a bigger tetrahedral number.

  5. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    The spheres considered are usually all of identical size, and the space is usually three-dimensional Euclidean space. However, sphere packing problems can be generalised to consider unequal spheres, spaces of other dimensions (where the problem becomes circle packing in two dimensions, or hypersphere packing in higher dimensions) or to non ...

  7. Triangular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_number

    Triangular numbers are a type of figurate number, other examples being square numbers and cube numbers. The n th triangular number is the number of dots in the triangular arrangement with n dots on each side, and is equal to the sum of the n natural numbers from 1 to n. The sequence of triangular numbers, starting with the 0th triangular number, is

  8. Centered tetrahedral number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centered_tetrahedral_number

    In mathematics, a centered tetrahedral number is a centered figurate number that represents a tetrahedron. That is, it counts the dots in a three-dimensional dot pattern with a single dot surrounded by tetrahedral shells. [ 1 ]

  9. Simplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex

    In particular, the convex hull of a subset of size m + 1 (of the n + 1 defining points) is an m-simplex, called an m-face of the n-simplex. The 0-faces (i.e., the defining points themselves as sets of size 1) are called the vertices (singular: vertex), the 1-faces are called the edges , the ( n − 1 )-faces are called the facets , and the sole ...
