Compound Of Two Snub Cubes
This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of the 2 enantiomers of the snub cube. As a holosnub, it is represented by Schläfli symbol βr and Coxeter diagram . The vertex arrangement of this compound is shared by a convex nonuniform truncated cuboctahedron, having rectangular faces, alongside irregular hexagons and octagons, each alternating with two edge lengths. Together with its convex hull, it represents the snub cube-first projection of the nonuniform snub cubic antiprism. Cartesian coordinates Cartesian coordinates for the vertices are all the permutations of :(±1, ±''ξ'', ±1/''ξ'') where ''ξ'' is the real solution to :\xi^3+\xi^2+\xi=1, \, which can be written :\xi = \frac\left(\sqrt - \sqrt - 1\right) or approximately 0.543689. ξ is the reciprocal of the tribonacci constant. Equally, the tribonacci constant, ''t'', just like the snub cube, can compute the coordinates as: :(±1, ±''t'', ±) Truncated cuboctahedron This compound can be seen as ...

Vertex Arrangement
In geometry, a vertex arrangement is a set of points in space described by their relative positions. They can be described by their use in polytopes. For example, a ''square vertex arrangement'' is understood to mean four points in a plane, equal distance and angles from a center point. Two polytopes share the same ''vertex arrangement'' if they share the same 0-skeleton In mathematics, particularly in algebraic topology, the of a topological space presented as a simplicial complex (resp. CW complex) refers to the subspace that is the union of the simplices of (resp. cells of ) of dimensions In other wo .... A group of polytopes that shares a vertex arrangement is called an ''army''. Vertex arrangement The same set of vertices can be connected by edges in different ways. For example, the ''pentagon'' and ''pentagram'' have the same ''vertex arrangement'', while the second connects alternate vertices. A ''vertex arrangement'' is often described by the convex ...

Snub Cube
In geometry, the snub cube, or snub cuboctahedron, is an Archimedean solid with 38 faces: 6 square (geometry), squares and 32 equilateral triangles. It has 60 edge (geometry), edges and 24 vertex (geometry), vertices. It is a chiral polytope, chiral polyhedron; that is, it has two distinct forms, which are mirror images (or "Chirality (mathematics), enantiomorphs") of each other. The union of both forms is a compound of two snub cubes, and the convex hull of both sets of vertices is a truncated cuboctahedron. Kepler first named it in Latin as cubus simus in 1619 in his Harmonices Mundi. H. S. M. Coxeter, noting it could be derived equally from the octahedron as the cube, called it snub cuboctahedron, with a vertical extended Schläfli symbol s \scriptstyle\begin 4 \\ 3 \end, and representing an Alternation (geometry), alternation of a truncated cuboctahedron, which has Schläfli symbol t \scriptstyle\begin 4 \\ 3 \end.

Tribonacci Constant
In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers form a sequence defined recursively by: :F_n = \begin 0 & n = 0 \\ 1 & n = 1 \\ F_ + F_ & n > 1 \end That is, after two starting values, each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The Fibonacci sequence has been studied extensively and generalized in many ways, for example, by starting with other numbers than 0 and 1, by adding more than two numbers to generate the next number, or by adding objects other than numbers. Extension to negative integers Using F_ = F_n - F_, one can extend the Fibonacci numbers to negative integers. So we get: :... −8, 5, −3, 2, −1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ... and F_ = (-1)^ F_n. See also NegaFibonacci coding. Extension to all real or complex numbers There are a number of possible generalizations of the Fibonacci numbers which include the real numbers (and sometimes the complex numbers) in their domain. These each involve the golden ratio , and are based on Binet's formula :F_n = \frac. The analy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Permutation
In mathematics, a permutation of a set is, loosely speaking, an arrangement of its members into a sequence or linear order, or if the set is already ordered, a rearrangement of its elements. The word "permutation" also refers to the act or process of changing the linear order of an ordered set. Permutations differ from combinations, which are selections of some members of a set regardless of order. For example, written as tuples, there are six permutations of the set , namely (1, 2, 3), (1, 3, 2), (2, 1, 3), (2, 3, 1), (3, 1, 2), and (3, 2, 1). These are all the possible orderings of this three-element set. Anagrams of words whose letters are different are also permutations: the letters are already ordered in the original word, and the anagram is a reordering of the letters. The study of permutations of finite sets is an important topic in the fields of combinatorics and group theory. Permutations are used in almost every branch of mathematics, and in many other fields of scie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vertex (geometry)
In geometry, a vertex (in plural form: vertices or vertexes) is a point (geometry), point where two or more curves, line (geometry), lines, or edge (geometry), edges meet. As a consequence of this definition, the point where two lines meet to form an angle and the corners of polygons and polyhedron, polyhedra are vertices. Definition Of an angle The ''vertex'' of an angle is the point where two Line (mathematics)#Ray, rays begin or meet, where two line segments join or meet, where two lines intersect (cross), or any appropriate combination of rays, segments, and lines that result in two straight "sides" meeting at one place. :(3 vols.): (vol. 1), (vol. 2), (vol. 3). Of a polytope A vertex is a corner point of a polygon, polyhedron, or other higher-dimensional polytope, formed by the intersection (Euclidean geometry), intersection of Edge (geometry), edges, face (geometry), faces or facets of the object. In a polygon, a vertex is called "convex set, convex" if the internal an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cartesian Coordinates
A Cartesian coordinate system (, ) in a plane is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines, measured in the same unit of length. Each reference coordinate line is called a ''coordinate axis'' or just ''axis'' (plural ''axes'') of the system, and the point where they meet is its ''origin'', at ordered pair . The coordinates can also be defined as the positions of the perpendicular projections of the point onto the two axes, expressed as signed distances from the origin. One can use the same principle to specify the position of any point in three-dimensional space by three Cartesian coordinates, its signed distances to three mutually perpendicular planes (or, equivalently, by its perpendicular projection onto three mutually perpendicular lines). In general, ''n'' Cartesian coordinates (an element of real ''n''-space) specify the point in an ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Truncated Cuboctahedral Prism
In geometry, a truncated cuboctahedral prism or great rhombicuboctahedral prism is a convex uniform polychoron, uniform polychoron (four-dimensional polytope). It is one of 18 convex Uniform polychoron#Polyhedral hyperprisms, uniform polyhedral prisms created by using uniform Prism (geometry), prisms to connect pairs of Platonic solids or Archimedean solids in parallel hyperplanes.

Octagon
In geometry, an octagon (from the Greek ὀκτάγωνον ''oktágōnon'', "eight angles") is an eight-sided polygon or 8-gon. A '' regular octagon'' has Schläfli symbol and can also be constructed as a quasiregular truncated square, t, which alternates two types of edges. A truncated octagon, t is a hexadecagon, . A 3D analog of the octagon can be the rhombicuboctahedron with the triangular faces on it like the replaced edges, if one considers the octagon to be a truncated square. Properties of the general octagon The sum of all the internal angles of any octagon is 1080°. As with all polygons, the external angles total 360°. If squares are constructed all internally or all externally on the sides of an octagon, then the midpoints of the segments connecting the centers of opposite squares form a quadrilateral that is both equidiagonal and orthodiagonal (that is, whose diagonals are equal in length and at right angles to each other).Dao Thanh Oai (2015), "Equilatera ...

Hexagon
In geometry, a hexagon (from Ancient Greek, Greek , , meaning "six", and , , meaning "corner, angle") is a six-sided polygon. The total of the internal angles of any simple polygon, simple (non-self-intersecting) hexagon is 720°. Regular hexagon A ''regular polygon, regular hexagon'' has Schläfli symbol and can also be constructed as a Truncation (geometry), truncated equilateral triangle, t, which alternates two types of edges. A regular hexagon is defined as a hexagon that is both equilateral polygon, equilateral and equiangular polygon, equiangular. It is bicentric polygon, bicentric, meaning that it is both cyclic polygon, cyclic (has a circumscribed circle) and tangential polygon, tangential (has an inscribed circle). The common length of the sides equals the radius of the circumscribed circle or circumcircle, which equals \tfrac times the apothem (radius of the inscribed figure, inscribed circle). All internal angles are 120 degree (angle), degrees. A regular hexago ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
