Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry: the Elements. Euclid's method consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions (theorems) from these.

What can be said about number-theoretic properties of the solid angle measures of polytopal ...
$S_n$ acts on the set of cones, and preserves the solid angle measure. If you consider the $n!$ rotations of the cone by elements of $S_n$, and except on the union of some hyperplanes, the number of …
