In nature, protein subunits on the capsids of many icosahedral viruses form rotational patterns, and mathematicians also incorporate asymmetric patterns into faces of polyhedra. Chemists have ...

Besides the regular and semiregular solids, there are just ninety-two other convex polyhedra with regular faces. In 1966, the American mathematician Norman W. Johnson, a student of H.S.M. Coxeter at ...

Triangles, squares, rectangles and pentagons are examples of polygons. A polyhedron is a 3D shape with faces made from polygons. Cubes, cuboids, tetrahedron and prisms are examples of polyhedra.
