List Of Uniform Polyhedra
Uniform polyhedra and tilings form a well studied group. They are listed here for quick comparison of their properties and varied naming schemes and symbols.
This list includes:
- all 75 nonprismatic uniform polyhedra;
- a few representatives of the infinite sets of prisms and antiprisms;
- one special case polyhedron, Skilling's figure with overlapping edges.
Not included are:
- 40 potential uniform polyhedra with degenerate vertex figures which have overlapping edges (not counted by Coxeter);
- 11 uniform tessellations with convex faces;
- 14 uniform tilings with nonconvex faces;
- the infinite set of Uniform tilings in hyperbolic plane.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or uniform:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)
