  2. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    A cube with unit side length is the canonical unit of volume in three-dimensional space, relative to which other solid objects are measured. The cube can be represented in many ways, one of which is the graph known as the cubical graph. It can be constructed by using the Cartesian product of graphs. The cube was discovered in antiquity.

  3. Doubling the cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_the_cube

    In algebraic terms, doubling a unit cube requires the construction of a line segment of length x, where x 3 = 2; in other words, x = , the cube root of two. This is because a cube of side length 1 has a volume of 1 3 = 1, and a cube of twice that volume (a volume of 2) has a side length of the cube root of 2.

    A program that allows permutation cycle length of any size cube to be determined is available [10] and sample cycle length results have been documented. [5] For a given permutation, cycle length can vary according to: Cube size. Initial cube state (for standard cubes with unmarked centres). Cube style (whether standard or marked centres are in ...

    Cube Tesseract Description The image on the left is a cube viewed face-on. The analogous viewpoint of the tesseract in 4 dimensions is the cell-first perspective projection, shown on the right. One may draw an analogy between the two: just as the cube projects to a square, the tesseract projects to a cube.

  6. Hypercube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube

    In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square (n = 2) and a cube (n = 3); the special case for n = 4 is known as a tesseract.It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length.

  7. Tesseract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

    In geometry, a tesseract or 4-cube is a four-dimensional hypercube, analogous to a two-dimensional square and a three-dimensional cube. [1] Just as the perimeter of the square consists of four edges and the surface of the cube consists of six square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of eight cubical cells, meeting at right angles.

  8. Optimal solutions for the Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia

    It means that the length of an optimal solution in HTM ≤ the length of an optimal solution in QTM. The maximal number of face turns needed to solve any instance of the Rubik's Cube is 20, [2] and the maximal number of quarter turns is 26. [3] These numbers are also the diameters of the corresponding Cayley graphs of the Rubik's Cube group. In ...

  9. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as (−n) 3 = −(n 3). The volume of a geometric cube is the cube of its side length, giving rise to the name. The inverse operation that consists of finding a number whose cube is n is called extracting the cube root of n ...
