Of the four authors, only Coxeter and myself are still alive, and we two are the authors of the whole text of the book, in which any signs of immaturity may perhaps be regarded leniently on noting that both of us were still in our twenties when it was written. N either of the others was a professional mathematician. Flather died about 1950, and Petrie, tragically, in a road accident in 1972. Petrie‘s part in the book consisted in the extremely difficult drawings which consti tute the left half of each of the plates (the much simpler ones on the right being mine). A brief biographical note on Petrie will be found on p. 32 of Coxeter‘s Regular Polytopes (3rd. ed. , Dover, New York, 1973); and it may be added that he was still a schoolboy when he discovered the regular skew polygons that are named after him, and are the occasion for the note on him in Coxeter‘s book. (Coxeter also was a schoolboy when some of the results for which he will be most remembered were obtained; he and Petrie were schoolboy friends and used to work together on polyhedron and polytope | | 出版日期 | Book 1982 | | 关键词 | Excel; Mathematica; Sternkörper; boundary element method; eXist; polygon; polytope; set; university | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4613-8216-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-90770-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4613-8216-4 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York Heidelberg Berlin 1982 |
