A display of uniform polyhedra at the Science Museum in London The small snub icosicosidodecahedron is a uniform star polyhedron, with vertex figure 3 5. 5 / 2 In geometry, a uniform star polyhedron is a self-intersecting uniform polyhedron. They are also sometimes called nonconvex polyhedra to imply self-intersecting.
Coxeter, Longuet-Higgins & Miller (1954) define uniform polyhedra to be vertex-transitive polyhedra with regular faces. They define a polyhedron to be a finite set of polygons such that each side of a polygon is a side of just one other polygon, such that no non-empty proper subset of the polygons has the same property.
A simple bimodal distribution, in this case a mixture of two normal distributions with the same variance but different means. The figure shows the probability density function (p.d.f.), which is an equally-weighted average of the bell-shaped p.d.f.s of the two normal distributions. If the weights were not equal, the resulting distribution could ...
A simple bimodal distribution. Figure 3. A bimodal distribution. Note that only the largest peak would correspond to a mode in the strict sense of the definition of mode. In statistics, a unimodal probability distribution or unimodal distribution is a probability distribution which has a single peak.
A bimodal distribution would have two high points rather than one. The shape of a distribution is sometimes characterised by the behaviours of the tails (as in a long or short tail). For example, a flat distribution can be said either to have no tails, or to have short tails.
In geometry, a uniform tiling is a tessellation of the plane by regular polygon faces with the restriction of being vertex-transitive. Uniform tilings can exist in both the Euclidean plane and hyperbolic plane. Uniform tilings are related to the finite uniform polyhedra; these can be considered uniform tilings of the sphere.
MLB's deal with Nike and Fanatics has not gone entirely as planned. In addition to the criticism over the 2024 uniforms, the decision to make All-Star uniforms has not been as successful as hoped.
Two types of star pentagons {5/2} |5/2| A regular star pentagon, {5/2}, has five vertices (its corner tips) and five intersecting edges, while a concave decagon, |5/2|, has ten edges and two sets of five vertices. The first is used in definitions of star polyhedra and star uniform tilings, while the second is sometimes used in planar tilings.
