Wenninger's Polyhedra: A Complete Guide
A Monk's Legacy: Father Magnus Wenninger and the 75 Uniform Polyhedra Father Magnus Wenninger, a Benedictine monk, wasn't known for groundbreaking mathematical theorems. His legacy lies in something far more tangible, and arguably more impactful: the meticulous creation and meticulous documentation of 75 uniform polyhedra (three-dimensional shapes with uniform faces, edges, and vertices). Before Wenninger, these complex geometric forms existed primarily as abstract mathematical concepts, difficult to visualize and fully grasp....
