  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhedron
  • Super complex from a pure mathematics perspective, so let's boil this down to the most essential, common, and general info. Focus on a more practical perspective -- how to make them, how to use them to make other stuff, how people have have/are using them
  • Important classes of convex polyhedra
    • Platonic solids (link to section)
    • Archimedean solids (link to section)
    • Johnson solids (new section?)
  • Overview of symmetries - just their name and short definition, with links if necessary
  • Stellations and facettings - inverses of each other
  • Overview of regular polyhedra in nature - radiolarians, crystals, fullerene,
