5-polytopes | Honeycombs (geometry)
In the geometry of hyperbolic 4-space, the order-5 icosahedral 120-cell honeycomb is one of four regular star-honeycombs. With Schläfli symbol {3,5,5/2,5}, it has five icosahedral 120-cells around each face. It is dual to the great 120-cell honeycomb. It can be constructed by replacing the great dodecahedral cells of the great 120-cell honeycomb with their icosahedral convex hulls, thus replacing the great 120-cells with icosahedral 120-cells. It is thus analogous to the four-dimensional icosahedral 120-cell. It has density 10. (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.

Character Tables for S5 and A5
Representation Theory of Finite Groups: We compute the character tables of S5, the symmetric group on 5 letters, and A5, the subgroup of even permutations. We note that A5 is isomorphic to the group of rigid motions of an icosahedron.

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

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.
