Icosahedral number

An icosahedral number is a figurate number that represents an icosahedron. The nth icosahedral number is given by the formula The first such numbers are 1, 12, 48, 124, 255, 456, 742, 1128, 1629, 2260, 3036, 3972, 5083, … (sequence in the OEIS). (Wikipedia).

Group theory 28: Groups of order 120, 168

This lecture is part of an online math course on group theory. It discusses some examples of groups of order 120 or 168: the binary icosahedral group, the symmetric group, and the symmetries of the Fano plane.

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

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.

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.

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
