Polyhedral compounds

Compound of five great dodecahedra

This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 5 great dodecahedra, in the same arrangement as in the compound of 5 icosahedra. It is one of only five polyhedral compounds (along with the compound of six tetrahedra, the compound of two great dodecahedra, the compound of two small stellated dodecahedra, and the compound of five small stellated dodecahedra) which is vertex-transitive and face-transitive but not edge-transitive. (Wikipedia).

How to Construct a Dodecahedron

How the greeks constructed the Dodecahedron. Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 17. In geometry, a dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron with regular pentagons as faces, which is a Platonic solid. A regular dode

Dihedral group example

In this veideo we continue our look in to the dihedral groups, specifically, the dihedral group with six elements. We note that two of the permutation in the group are special in that they commute with all the other elements in the group. In the next video I'll show you that these two el

Rhombofoam in Zome – Scott Vorthmann

Rhombofoam is a pattern that fills 3D space in all the ways that a golden rhombohedron does, while forming dodecahedral and 16-sided cells that have the topology of foam: three cells around each edge, and four around each vertex. The result is a foam model that has the symmetries of a quas
