- I need some information that must be in a book somewhere, but I can't
- seem to find it. The question is this: for the various platonic
- solids, in particular the dodecahedron and the icosahedron, if the
- length of an edge is 1 and the polyhedron is centered about the origin,
- what are the coordinates of the vertices? (For some convenient orientation.)
- Any references or numbers would be very much appreciated. Thanks,
-
