Welcome to the Platonic Solids as Demonstrated in
Euclid's
Elements
This site demonstrates the construction of the five Platonic Solids from Chapter 13 of Euclid's
Elements
.
This project has brought forth much
philosophizing
on the nature of the Internet, Geometry, and the world, and how we orient ourselves in it.
In order to orient yourself, we recommend taking a look at
how to
best view the site, and to take a look at the
resources
available on Euclid on the WWW.
Enjoy.
