The cube, one of the regular Platonic solids

Welcome to WikiProject Polyhedra. The aim of this project is to standardize Wikipedia’s coverage on polyhedra, which are three-dimensional objects with planefaces, vertices and edges. Polyhedra have applications in science and real life, and are often found in nature. Some appearances and uses of polyhedra include:

Some of the applications of polyhedral geometry and analysis in mathematics and mathematical sciences include combinatorics (i.e., polyhedral combinatorics), topology, computer graphics, and opitmization.

We encourage anyone associated with this project, or the outside, to improve Wikipedia articles on polyhedra!

Some of the topics covered by this project are included in the table below.

  1. Improving polyhedron articles by removing excessive tables per WT:WPM.
  2. Add 3D models to all polyhedron articles, including the uniform polyhedra (and compounds), Johnson solids, stellations of the icosahedron, and other special shapes. I and TilmannR have already created most of these, and I’m working on some of the missing ones (pyramids, antiprisms, trapezohedra and the uniform compounds). It’s just a matter of adding them with a short description such as “3D model of [shape name]”. For convenience, I’ve been compiling these models on my userpage, where a download link with all the GGB and STL files I’ve made can also be found. – OfficialURL (talk) 03:45, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
