  2. List of uniform polyhedra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_uniform_polyhedra

    Four numbering schemes for the uniform polyhedra are in common use, distinguished by letters: [C] Coxeter et al., 1954, showed the convex forms as figures 15 through 32; three prismatic forms, figures 33–35; and the nonconvex forms, figures 36–92.

  3. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    The figure shows that 8 can be decomposed into 5 (the number of ways to climb 4 steps, followed by a single-step) plus 3 (the number of ways to climb 3 steps, followed by a double-step). The same reasoning is applied recursively until a single step, of which there is only one way to climb.

  4. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    A golden rectangle with long side a + b and short side a can be divided into two pieces: a similar golden rectangle (shaded red, right) with long side a and short side b and a square (shaded blue, left) with sides of length a.

    In the second step, they were divided by 3. The final result, ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠, is an irreducible fraction because 4 and 3 have no common factors other than 1. The original fraction could have also been reduced in a single step by using the greatest common divisor of 90 and 120, which is 30. As 120 ÷ 30 = 4, and 90 ÷ 30 = 3, one gets

  6. Simple continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_continued_fraction

    While virtually all real numbers k will eventually have infinitely many convergents ⁠ m / n ⁠ whose distance from k is significantly smaller than this limit, the convergents for φ (i.e., the numbers ⁠ 5 / 3 ⁠, ⁠ 8 / 5 ⁠, ⁠ 13 / 8 ⁠, ⁠ 21 / 13 ⁠, etc.) consistently "toe the boundary", keeping a distance of almost exactly ...

    This can hold up to two electrons. The second shell similarly contains a 2s orbital, and it also contains three dumbbell-shaped 2p orbitals, and can thus fill up to eight electrons (2×1 + 2×3 = 8). The third shell contains one 3s orbital, three 3p orbitals, and five 3d orbitals, and thus has a capacity of 2×1 + 2×3 + 2×5 = 18.

    To remember the order of taxa in biology (Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, [Variety]): "Dear King Philip Came Over For Good Soup" is often cited as a non-vulgar method for teaching students to memorize the taxonomic classification of system.
