Dodecahedral number

A dodecahedral number is a figurate number that represents a dodecahedron. The nth dodecahedral number is given by the formula The first such numbers are 0, 1, 20, 84, 220, 455, 816, 1330, 2024, 2925, 4060, 5456, 7140, 9139, 11480, … (sequence in the OEIS). (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

Canonical structures inside the Platonic solids III | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 51

The dodecahedron is surely one of the truly great mathematical objects---revered by the ancient Greeks, Kepler, and many mathematicians since. Its symmetries are particularly rich, and in this video we look at how to see the five-fold and six-fold symmetries of this object via internal str

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

Abstract Algebra - 1.3 The Dihedral Groups

Building on what we now know about the symmetries of a square, we generalize to what we can determine about any of the dihedral groups for n=3 or greater for regular n-gons (equilateral triangle, square, regular pentagon, etc.) Video Chapters: Intro 0:00 Recap of Cayley Tables 0:08 D3, D4

Visualizing decimal numbers and their arithmetic 67 | Arithmetic and Geometry Math Foundations

This video gives a precise definition of a decimal number as a special kind of rational number; one for which there is an expression a/b where a and b are integers, with b a power of ten. For such a number we can extend the Hindu-Arabic notation for integers by introducing the decimal form

How do ceramic crystal structures differ from metal crystal structures?

Metal crystal structures are much simpler than ceramic structures. This is due to two reasons. First, ceramics have positive and negative charged ions. Cations and ions must maintain charge neutrality. Second, the size of cations and anions are very different! Structures with multiple diff

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
