Platonic solids are regular bodies in three dimensions, such as the cube and icosahedron, and have been known for millennia. They feature prominently in the natural world wherever geometry and ...

Platonic solids are the three-dimensional analog of regular polygons, and prove to be far more interesting. Platonic solids are bounded by regular polygons, all of the same size and shape.

A polygon is regular if it is uniform and its faces are all alike. The regular convex polyhedra are the five Platonic solids, which have been known since classical Greece. The ancient Greek ...

Student Design Competition with the theme of "Sacred Geometry: Platonic Solids." $24,000 in prizes! The Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) in Greenwood Village, CO seeks conceptual design proposals for ...

An article by Frank J. Swetz on the Mathematical Association of America’s website explains that the Platonic solids were thought to be the building blocks of four basic types of matter ...

The foundational Greek philosopher, writing around 360 BCE, had matched his five Platonic solids with five supposed elements: earth, air, fire, water and star stuff.

Anne Tyng’s infectious enthusiasm for pure geometric shapes and the hope of their generative powers for urban planning and architectural form is almost as interesting as the juicy subplot of her ...

The works of the Greek polymath Plato have kept people busy for millennia. Mathematicians have long pondered Platonic solids, a collection of geometric forms that are highly regular and are ...

For thousands of years the Platonic solids have been studied together because they have so much in common. But now we know something new about the dodecahedron that is decidedly different.

A polygon is regular if it is uniform and its faces are all alike. The regular convex polyhedra are the five Platonic solids, which have been known since classical Greece. The ancient Greek ...
