The hexapentakis truncated icosahedron is a convex polyhedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron. It is geodesic polyhedron {3,5+}3,0, with pentavalent vertices separated by an edge-direct distance of 3 steps. (Wikipedia).

In this video, we explore the differences between starting with a random dot in a regular hexagon and iterating the procedure of choosing a hexagon vertex at random and moving either half the distance from the current dot to the chosen vertex OR two thirds the distance from the current dot

How Many Faces, Edges And Vertices Does A Hexagonal Prism Have?
How Many Faces, Edges And Vertices Does A Hexagonal Prism Have? Here we’ll look at how to work out the faces, edges and vertices of a hexagonal prism. We’ll start by counting the faces, these are the flat surfaces that make the shape. A hexagonal prism has 8 faces altogether - 2 hexagon

This is a recreation of a short clip from a long form video showing six different ways to construct the Sierpinski triangle: https://youtu.be/IZHiBJGcrqI In this short, we shade odd entries of the Halayuda/Pascal triangle to obtain the Sierpinski triangle. Can you explain why this works?

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

AlgTop16: Rational curvature of polytopes and the Euler number
We show that the total curvature of a polyhedron is equal to its Euler number. This only works with the rational formulation of curvature, using an analog of the turn angle suitable for the 2 dimensional sphere. This important modification to the theory is original with this lecture series

If the celebrated Scottish zoologist D’Arcy W. Thompson (1860 – 1948) could have met the near-legendary German astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571 – 1630), what would they talk about? Snowflakes, maybe? It is true that both men wrote about their hexagonal shapes. But they both wrote about Arc
