Projective polyhedra

Hemi-icosahedron

A hemi-icosahedron is an abstract regular polyhedron, containing half the faces of a regular icosahedron. It can be realized as a projective polyhedron (a tessellation of the real projective plane by 10 triangles), which can be visualized by constructing the projective plane as a hemisphere where opposite points along the boundary are connected and dividing the hemisphere into three equal parts. (Wikipedia).

How to Construct an Icosahedron

How the greeks constructed the icosahedron. Source: Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 16. In geometry, a regular icosahedron is a convex polyhedron with 20 faces, 30 edges and 12 vertices. It is one of the five Platonic solids, and the one with the most faces. https://www.etsy.com/lis

The remarkable Platonic solids II: symmetry | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 48 | NJ Wildberger

We look at the symmetries of the Platonic solids, starting here with rigid motions, which are essentially rotations about fixed axes. We use the normalization of angle whereby one full turn has the value one, and also connect the number of rigid motions with the number of directed edges.

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

AlgTop8: Polyhedra and Euler's formula

We investigate the five Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube, octohedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron. Euler's formula relates the number of vertices, edges and faces. We give a proof using a triangulation argument and the flow down a sphere. This is the eighth lecture in this beginner's

Group theory 27: The icosahedral group

This lecture is part of an online math course on group theory. The lecture is about a few examples of groups, in particular the icosahedral group. In it we see that the icosahedral group is the only simple group of order 60, and show that all larger alternating groups are simple.
