Equidissection Equidissection In geometry, an equidissection is a partition of a polygon into triangles of equal area. The study of equidissections began in the late 1960s with Monsky's theorem, which states that a square cannot be equidissected into an odd number of triangles. In fact, most polygons cannot be equidissected at all. Much of the literature is aimed at generalizing Monsky's theorem to broader classes of polygons. The general question is: Which polygons can be equidissected into how many pieces? Particular attention has been given to trapezoids, kites, regular polygons, centrally symmetric polygons, polyominos, and hypercubes. Equidissections do not have many
Regular Polytopes (book) , and the third edition was reviewed telegraphically in . Regular Polytopes (book) Regular Polytopes is a mathematical geometry book written by Canadian mathematician Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter. Originally published in 1947, the book was updated and republished in 1963 and 1973. The book is a comprehensive survey of the geometry of regular polytopes, the generalisation of regular polygons and regular polyhedra to higher dimensions. Originating with an essay entitled "Dimensional Analogy" written in 1923, the first edition of the book took Coxeter twenty-four years to complete. "Regular Polytopes" is a standard reference work on regular polygons, polyhedra and their
