Regular polytopes

"Regular polytopes" as a book category encompasses works that focus on highly symmetric geometric figures — the Platonic solids and their higher-dimensional analogues — and the mathematical theory that describes them. Books in this category treat topics such as convexity and symmetry, combinatorial structure of faces, vertices and edges, Schläfli symbols, Coxeter groups and reflection symmetries, and classification results in various dimensions, as well as related tessellations and polytopal duality. They range from rigorous research monographs and advanced textbooks to visual guides and popular-science treatments that emphasize history (Euclid, Schläfli, Coxeter), visualization techniques, and applications in fields like crystallography, theoretical physics and architecture. Ideal for mathematicians, advanced students, educators and enthusiasts interested in geometric symmetry, higher-dimensional intuition and the algebraic underpinnings of shape.
