• The image to the left depicts an icosahedron, which is a polyhedron with twenty identical faces, each an equilateral triangle, in which five faces meet at each vertex. There is a large icosahedron in the Mathematics Suite (room 102) of De La Roche Hall, located atop the "Resources" bookcase. This icosahedron was given to the Department of Mathematics in 1996 by Professor Richard Neal, currently the co-chair of the MAA Committee on Undergraduate Student Activities and Chapters. ... Neal gave our department the icosahedron. The icosahedron is made of white pine and was originally unpainted. ... The icosahedron is painted so that each face has one color, faces that share an edge have different colors, and each vertex is surrounded by all five colors. ...
• The ancient Greeks proved that there are only five Platonic solids: the tetrahedron (four faces, each an equilateral triangle), the cube (six faces, each a square), the octahedron (eight faces, each an equilateral triangle), the dodecahedron (twelve faces, each a regular pentagon), and the icosahedron (twenty faces, each an equilateral triangle). ...
