Example Sentences
- "1995, J. Bokowski, On the Construction of Equifacetted 3-Spheres, Neil L. White, Invariant Methods in Discrete and Computational Geometry: Proceedings of the Curaçao Conference, page 303, P. McMullen has pointed out to the author that he has constructed an interesting equifacetted 3-sphere in his Ph.D.Thesis by starting with the 600-cell."
- "The dual to the 120-cell is the 600-cell. The 600-cell is a 4-dimensional convex regular polytope with 600 facets. Its Schläfli symbol of the^([sic]) 600-cell is {3, 3, 5}. It is a 4-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron, constructed by the golden ratio on the edges of an octohedron."
- "The other two figures are the 120-cell and 600-cell which form a dual pair as is clear from their Schläfli symbols being the reverse of each other."
