These are often called Bernoulli's spirals now in honor of the man who popularized them. Jacob Bernoulli was a Swiss mathematician who studied spirals produced by logarithms, which he called Spira mirabilis, or 'the marvelous spiral'. See, with enough spidrons, any math whiz can be another M.C. But what good is it? Just take a look at how they fit together! There are more spidron designs than can be contained in one post. Since the shape grows in at least two directions (or it's only a semi-spidron), the shape looks like a twisty pinwheel blade of sorts. So the shape peters out as it grows longer, and it shifts a bit to the side because of the isosceles triangle shape. So when the equilateral triangle adjoins the right side of an triangle isosceles on one side and the hypotenuse on the other side, you see that the size of the isosceles triangles get smaller as they go on -and therefore the size of the equilateral triangle decreases as well. An isosceles triangle doesn't (the hypotenuse is longer). A spidron is defined as a two-dimensional figure 'consisting of an alternating sequence of equilateral and isosceles (30В°, 30В°, 120В°) triangles.' OK, you know an equilateral triangle has three sides all the same length. Spidron A spidron sounds like something that spins, and that's what it looks like as well.

They were numbered as a limited series (inside, using transparent materials of the same density as the rest of the object) and professor Arnold was presented with number one. It's a Weeble that doesn't wear out! Objet Geometries made the first fabricated gГ¶mbГ¶cs. So, if you roll a gГ¶mbГ¶c around, it will soon right itself, returning to an upright position because of its shape, not because of any internal irregularities. This odd shape has only two points it could possibly balance upon, and the point on top is too 'pointed' to be stable. But in 2006, GГЎbor Domokos and PГ©ter VГЎrkonyi developed the gГ¶mbГ¶c. For a long time, mathematicians thought the shape was impossible. If a shape could be found that had as few as two points of equilibrium, one stable and one unstable, the shape would naturally return to balancing on the one stable point. In 1995, Russian mathematician Vladimir Arnold questioned whether there could be a 3-dimensional shape that would always return to its original position without the help of internal weights. However, if the heavy weight in the bottom of the toy ever came loose, you had a Weeble that fell down. GГ¶mbГ¶c You might remember Weebles -they wobble, but they don't fall down. Toroidal Polyhedron would be a cool name for a band. A toroidal polyhedron is a torus constructed with or converted into flat surfaces, with the shape dependent on how many flat surfaces you use. For example, a square used in this manner will produce a ring that would be uncomfortable on your finger. A toroid is a ring or donut shaped solid produced by a surface of revolution not necessarily limited to a circle. Some really strange mathematical shapes are produced when the rotating plane of the circle is not quite round, or is itself rotating around a point in the plane. Other torus shapes are produced when the axis is touching or slightly inside the circle. The solid is produced by rotating a circle around an imaginary axis, but in this surface of revolution, the axis is outside the circle. If the clue says 'donut shape', the answer is torus. Torus I learned about the torus from crossword puzzles. The superegg was popularized by Danish mathematician and physicist Piet Hein, who used the shape in designs for household items such as furniture, ice cubes, and candles, as well as a novelty toy (sometimes referred to as a stress-reliever) by itself. However, unlike a natural egg, you can stand the superegg on its end -either end, as a matter of fact, as it is vertically as well as horizontally symmetrical, although it has no straight lines that you can find -although the curvature is zero at the ends, the 'ends' are actually quite small and appear to be rounded. If you cut one horizontally, the cross-section will be a circle. (If you search for 'superegg formula', you are liable to find something completely different.) But you don't want to bother with formulas, do you? Just look at it! From the side, the superegg looks a bit like a cylinder, but has no corners. (Image credit: Sir48 at da.wikipedia)A superegg is a mathematical shape constructed by rotating a superellipse around an axis to the formula of |x/a|2.5 + |y/b|2.5 = 1, where a/b = 4/3. Once I understood what is called a 'surface of revolution' in my mind, the construction of many odd mathematical shapes began to make sense. Think of the flat holiday decorations you fold out around its spine/axis. Many strange mathematical solids are constructed by rotating the plane of a two-dimensional shape around an imaginary axis. I found out something neat about three-dimensional shapes.
