Plato(427 BC – 347 BC) • Greek philosepher • 387 BC based a school in Athina • Died 80 years old
Johannes Kepler(27.12.1571 Weil der Stadt – 15.11.1630 Regensburg) • German mathematican and astronomer • Several years lived in Prague as a guest of Rudolf II
Platonic Solid • Convex polyhedron • All faces are equal regular polygon (K vertecies) • In each vertex of the polyhedron the same number of edges intersects (L edges)
Which Platonic Solids exist? • V … number of vertecies • F … number of faces • E … number of edges • Euler formula: For each convex polyhedron V + F = E +2
Which Platonic Solids exist? • The conditions of Platonic Solids • K.F = 2.E F = 2E/K • L.V = 2.E V = 2E/L • Substitution into Euler formula 2E/L + 2E/K = E +2 1/L + 1/K = 1/E + 1/2
For which numbers holds1/K+1/L = 1/E +1/2 • K and L are integers bigger or equal to 3 • For K = 3 • L=3, E=6: 1/3+1/3 = 1/6+1/2 • L=4, E=12: 1/3+1/4 = 1/12+1/2 • L=5, E=30: 1/3+1/5 = 1/30+1/2 • For L=>6 not possible • For K = 4 • L=3, E=12: 1/4+1/3 = 1/12+1/2 • For L=>4not possible • For K = 5 • L=3, E=30: 1/5+1/3 = 1/30+1/2 • Pro L=>4not possible • For K => 6 not possible even for L=3
Důkaz neexistence více než 5ti pravidelných mnohostěnů • From previous equatation we know that only following polyhedrons can exist as a Platonic Solids • Ti proof their existence we must construct them
