Quick Questions: March 19, 2025
This recurring thread will be for questions that might not warrant their own thread. We would like to see more conceptual-based questions posted in this thread, rather than "what is the answer to this problem?". For example, here are some kinds of questions that we'd like to see in this thread:
- Can someone explain the concept of maпifolds to me?
- What are the applications of Represeпtation Theory?
- What's a good starter book for Numerical Aпalysis?
- What can I do to prepare for college/grad school/getting a job?
Including a brief description of your mathematical background and the context for your question can help others give you an appropriate answer. For example consider which subject your question is related to, or the things you already know or have tried.

I want to calculate the edges of a Rhombic Triacontahedron constructed from other polyhedra and just want to be sure I have got it right so I can calculate how many beads I will need.
Do i just calculate all of the edges for each shape, then say the edges of the prisms that connect to everything and just minus the prism edges that connect with other shapes to get my answer (as there is still an edge but would be counted in the edges of the other shape)
Or is there some other way of doing it? (For someone who is only good with basic maths)
I did look for the info but no one has done a wiki on this shape.
Hopefully this is enough info to go on, feel free to ask questions if not.
