Mathematical Models (Cundy and Rollett)

Not to be confused with Mathematical Models (Fischer).

Mathematical Models is a book on the construction of physical models of mathematical objects for educational purposes. It was written by Martyn Cundy and A. P. Rollett, and published by the Clarendon Press in 1951,[1][2][3][4][5][6] with a second edition in 1961.[2][7] Tarquin Publications published a third edition in 1981.[8]

The vertex configuration of a uniform polyhedron, a generalization of the Schläfli symbol that describes the pattern of polygons surrounding each vertex, was devised in this book as a way to name the Archimedean solids, and has sometimes been called the Cundy–Rollett symbol as a nod to this origin.[9]
