Spirolateral 100 120
In Euclidean geometry, a spirolateral is a polygon created by a sequence of fixed vertex internal angles and sequential edge lengths 1,2,3,…,''n'' which repeat until the figure closes. The number of repeats needed is called its cycles.Martin Gardner, Gardner, M. ''Worm Paths'' Ch. 17 ''Knotted Doughnuts and Other Mathematical Entertainments'' New York: W. H. Freeman, pp. 205-221, 1986/ref> A ''simple spirolateral'' has only positive angles. A simple spiral approximates of a portion of an archimedean spiral. A ''general spirolateral'' allows positive and negative angles. A ''spirolateral'' which completes in one Turn (geometry), turn is a simple polygon, while requiring more than 1 turn is a star polygon and must be self-crossing. A simple spirolateral can be an equangular simple polygon with ''p'' vertices, or an equiangular star polygon with ''p'' vertices and ''q'' turns. Spirolaterals were invented and named by Frank C. Odds as a teenager in 1962, as ''square spirolaterals'' ...

Rational Number
In mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers, a numerator and a non-zero denominator . For example, is a rational number, as is every integer (e.g. ). The set of all rational numbers, also referred to as "the rationals", the field of rationals or the field of rational numbers is usually denoted by boldface , or blackboard bold \mathbb. A rational number is a real number. The real numbers that are rational are those whose decimal expansion either terminates after a finite number of digits (example: ), or eventually begins to repeat the same finite sequence of digits over and over (example: ). This statement is true not only in base 10, but also in every other integer base, such as the binary and hexadecimal ones (see ). A real number that is not rational is called irrational. Irrational numbers include , , , and . Since the set of rational numbers is countable, and the set of real numbers is uncountable ...

Golygon
A golygon, or more generally a serial isogon of 90°, is any polygon with all right angles (a rectilinear polygon) whose sides are consecutive integer lengths. Golygons were invented and named by Lee Sallows, and popularized by A.K. Dewdney in a 1990 ''Scientific American'' column (Smith). Variations on the definition of golygons involve allowing edges to cross, using sequences of edge lengths other than the consecutive integers, and considering turn angles other than 90°. Properties In any golygon, all horizontal edges have the same parity as each other, as do all vertical edges. Therefore, the number ''n'' of sides must allow the solution of the system of equations :\pm 1 \pm 3 \pm \cdots \pm (n-1) = 0 :\pm 2 \pm 4 \pm \cdots \pm n = 0. It follows from this that ''n'' must be a multiple of 8. For example, in the figure we have -1 + 3 + 5 - 7 = 0 and 2 - 4 - 6 + 8 = 0. The number of golygons for a given permissible value of ''n'' may be computed efficiently using generating f ...
