Pythagorean Solids: Five Regular Solids
Abstract
Throughout history the regular solids were a point of intrigue by astronomers, mathematicians, artists, and philosophers. The Pythagoreans proved that there are only five regular solids: the cube, triangle, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.
This OER offers high-quality images from books published in the 16th and 17th centuries which feature the five regular solids.
