Number 186 Pavilion of Polyhedrealityhttp://www.georgehart.com/pavilion.html Any site with George Hart in it is worth visiting. There are certainly some surprising constructions on this site. Number 187 Uniform Polytopes in Four Dimensions http://members.aol.com/Polycell/uniform.html The following is a statement from the website… “This is the world’s only website that tabulates all the convex uniform (i.e., Platonic and Archimedean) polychora (that is, four-dimensional polytopes), and until Norman W. Johnson’s book Uniform Polytopes is published by Cambridge University Press, it remains the only place in the world where you can find this information!” It is certainly interesting and has information plus. Number 188 Encyclopedia of Polyhedrahttp://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/vp.html As I have stated before George Hart is well worth a visit and this site is no exception. You can spend a lot of time here and learn a great deal of information. Number 189 The Geometry Junkyardhttp://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/junkyard/ This site ia a favourite of mine that I continually go back to. The following quote will explain the site’s philosophy...“These pages contain use net clippings, web pointers, lecture notes, research excerpts, papers, abstracts, programs, problems, and other stuff related to discrete and computational geometry. Some of it is quite serious, but I hope much of it is also entertaining. The main criteria for adding something here are that it be geometrical (obviously) and that it not fit into my other geometry page, Geometry in Action, which is more devoted to applications and less to pure math. I also have another page on non-geometrical recreational math.” Number 190 - 191 Platonic and Archimedean Polyhedra http://www.intent.com/sg/polyhedra.html http://www.intent.com/elysian/sgds.html I intend using the fold up patterns on this site as posters in my classroom The second site is for the book Sacred Design Geometry Sourcebook.
