Solids with icosahedral symmetry
Platonic solids - regular polyhedra (all faces of the same type) Archimedean solids - polyhedra with more than one polygon face type. Catalan solids - duals of the Archimedean solids. (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

The remarkable Platonic solids I | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 47 | NJ Wildberger
The Platonic solids have fascinated mankind for thousands of years. These regular solids embody some kind of fundamental symmetry and their analogues in the hyperbolic setting will open up a whole new domain of discourse. Here we give an introduction to these fascinating objects: the tetra

The classification of Platonic solids I | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 53 | NJ Wildberger
Euclid showed in the last Book XIII of the Elements that there were exactly 5 Platonic solids. Here we go through the argument, but using some modern innovations of notation: in particular instead of talking about angles that sum to 360 degrees around the circle, or perhaps 2 pi radians, w

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.
