Architecture And Design

In the last few years, digital modelling techniques have played a major role in architecture and design, influencing, at the same time, the creative process and the fabrication of objects. This revolution has produced a new productive generation of architects and designers focused on the expanding possibilities of material and formal production, reinforcing the idea of architecture as an interaction between art and artisanship. This original perspective inspires this paper, which illustrates the contemporary scenario and provides some practical guidance about tools and technologies the designers most often use for creating geometric sculptures with 3D printing. Creative possibilities of topological mesh modelling are used to generate complex geometries from regular polyhedra. This process explores how combining different geometric operations can activate architectural inquiry and generate fascinating shapes with creative flexibility.

The significant features of exchange symmetry are displayed by simple systems such as two identical, spinless fermions in a one-dimensional well with infinite walls. The conclusion is that the maxima of probability of the antisymmetrized wave function of these two fermions lie at the same positions as if a repulsive force (of unknown nature) was applied between these two fermions. This conclusion is combined with the solution of a mathematical problem dealing with the equilibrium of identical repulsive particles (of one or two kinds) on one or more spheres like neutrons and protons on nuclear shells. Such particles are at equilibrium only for specific numbers of particles and, in addition, if these particles lie on the vertices of regular polyhedra or their derivative polyhedra. Finally, this result leads to a pictorial representation of the structure of all closed shell nuclei. This representation could be used as a laboratory for determining nuclear properties and corresponding wave functions.

Spherical Triangles

This chapter explains how to find the area of an angle or polyhedron. It begins with a discussion of how to determine the area of a spherical triangle or polygon. The formula for the area of a spherical triangle is named after Albert Girard, a French mathematician who developed a theorem on the areas of spherical triangles, found in his Invention nouvelle. The chapter goes on to consider Euler's polyhedral formula, named after the eighteenth-century mathematician Leonhard Euler, and the geometry of a regular polyhedron. Finally, it describes an approach to finding the proportion of the volume of the unit sphere that the various regular polyhedra occupy.

This chapter considers the richness of mathematics and mathematicians' responses to it, with a particular focus on various types of graphs. It begins with a discussion of theorems from many areas of mathematics that have been judged among the most beautiful, including the Euler Polyhedron Formula; the number of primes is infinite; there are five regular polyhedra; there is no rational number whose square is 2; and the Four Color Theorem. The chapter proceeds by describing regular graphs, irregular graphs, irregular multigraphs and weighted graphs, subgraphs, and isomorphic graphs. It also analyzes the degrees of the vertices of a graph, along with concepts and ideas concerning the structure of graphs. Finally, it revisits a rather mysterious problem in graph theory, introduced by Stanislaw Ulam and Paul J. Kelly, that no one has been able to solve: the Reconstruction Problem.

Definition Of

H. S. M. Coxeter has shown the existence of three infinite regular polyhedra, and has proved that there are no infinite regular polyhedra other than these. In his paper he gives the definition of regularity of a polyhedron :A polyhedron is said to be regular if it possesses two particular symmetries: one which cyclically permutes the vertices ox any face c, and one which cyclically permutes the faces that meet at a vertex C, C being a vertex of c.
