  2. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as (−n) 3 = −(n 3). The volume of a geometric cube is the cube of its side length, giving rise to the name. The inverse operation that consists of finding a number whose cube is n is called extracting the cube root of n ...

  3. Rubik's family cubes of varying sizes - Wikipedia

    A program that allows permutation cycle length of any size cube to be determined is available [10] and sample cycle length results have been documented. [5] For a given permutation, cycle length can vary according to: Cube size. Initial cube state (for standard cubes with unmarked centres). Cube style (whether standard or marked centres are in ...

  4. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    A cube with unit side length is the canonical unit of volume in three-dimensional space, relative to which other solid objects are measured. The cube can be represented in many ways, one of which is the graph known as the cubical graph. It can be constructed by using the Cartesian product of graphs. The cube was discovered in antiquity.

  5. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    Cube Tesseract Description The image on the left is a cube viewed face-on. The analogous viewpoint of the tesseract in 4 dimensions is the cell-first perspective projection, shown on the right. One may draw an analogy between the two: just as the cube projects to a square, the tesseract projects to a cube.

  6. Doubling the cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_the_cube

    In algebraic terms, doubling a unit cube requires the construction of a line segment of length x, where x 3 = 2; in other words, x = , the cube root of two. This is because a cube of side length 1 has a volume of 1 3 = 1, and a cube of twice that volume (a volume of 2) has a side length of the cube root of 2.

  7. Optimal solutions for the Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_solutions_for_the...

    It means that the length of an optimal solution in HTM ≤ the length of an optimal solution in QTM. The maximal number of face turns needed to solve any instance of the Rubik's Cube is 20, [2] and the maximal number of quarter turns is 26. [3] These numbers are also the diameters of the corresponding Cayley graphs of the Rubik's Cube group. In ...

  8. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the square–cube law.

  9. Space diagonal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_diagonal

    A magic square is an arrangement of numbers in a square grid so that the sum of the numbers along every row, column, and diagonal is the same. Similarly, one may define a magic cube to be an arrangement of numbers in a cubical grid so that the sum of the numbers on the four space diagonals must be the same as the sum of the numbers in each row, each column, and each pillar.
