List of Uniform Polyhedra - Indexing

Indexing

Four numbering schemes for the uniform polyhedra are in common use, distinguished by letters:

  • Coxeter et al., 1954, showed the convex forms as figures 15 through 32; three prismatic forms, figures 33–35; and the nonconvex forms, figures 36–92.
  • Wenninger, 1974, has 119 figures: 1-5 for the Platonic solids, 6-18 for the Archimedean solids, 19-66 for stellated forms including the 4 regular nonconvex polyhedra, and ended with 67-119 for the nonconvex uniform polyhedra.
  • Kaleido, 1993: The 80 figures were grouped by symmetry: 1-5 as representatives of the infinite families of prismatic forms with dihedral symmetry, 6-9 with tetrahedral symmetry, 10-26 with Octahedral symmetry, 46-80 with icosahedral symmetry.
  • Mathematica, 1993, follows the Kaleido series with the 5 prismatic forms moved to last, so that the nonprismatic forms become 1–75.
