  2. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    A regular n-gon has a solid construction if and only if n=2 a 3 b m where a and b are some non-negative integers and m is a product of zero or more distinct Pierpont primes (primes of the form 2 r 3 s +1). Therefore, regular n-gon admits a solid, but not planar, construction if and only if n is in the sequence

  3. Locus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(mathematics)

    Each curve in this example is a locus defined as the conchoid of the point P and the line l.In this example, P is 8 cm from l. In geometry, a locus (plural: loci) (Latin word for "place", "location") is a set of all points (commonly, a line, a line segment, a curve or a surface), whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions.

  4. Exercise (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_(mathematics)

    In college mathematics exercises often depend on functions of a real variable or application of theorems. The standard exercises of calculus involve finding derivatives and integrals of specified functions. Usually instructors prepare students with worked examples: the exercise is stated, then a model answer is provided. Often several worked ...

    Those who wish to adopt the textbooks are required to send a request to NCERT, upon which soft copies of the books are received. The material is press-ready and may be printed by paying a 5% royalty, and by acknowledging NCERT. [11] The textbooks are in color-print and are among the least expensive books in Indian book stores. [11]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_Wikipedia_for...

    Mathematics textbooks are conventionally built up carefully, one chapter at a time, explaining what mathematicians would call the prerequisites before moving to a new topic. For example, you may think you can study Chapter 10 of a book before Chapter 9, but reading a few pages may then show you that you are wrong.

  7. Edge (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, an edge is a particular type of line segment joining two vertices in a polygon, polyhedron, or higher-dimensional polytope. [1] In a polygon, an edge is a line segment on the boundary, [2] and is often called a polygon side. In a polyhedron or more generally a polytope, an edge is a line segment where two faces (or polyhedron sides ...

  8. Octahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedron

    If each edge of an octahedron is replaced by a one-ohm resistor, the resistance between opposite vertices is ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ ohm, and that between adjacent vertices ⁠ 5 / 12 ⁠ ohm. [ 28 ] Six musical notes can be arranged on the vertices of an octahedron in such a way that each edge represents a consonant dyad and each face represents a ...

  9. Platonic solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

    The solid angle, Ω, at the vertex of a Platonic solid is given in terms of the dihedral angle by Ω = q θ − ( q − 2 ) π . {\displaystyle \Omega =q\theta -(q-2)\pi .\,} This follows from the spherical excess formula for a spherical polygon and the fact that the vertex figure of the polyhedron { p , q } is a regular q -gon.
