#0, Question on CTK article on Regular Polyhedra
Posted by Abi Kirk on Oct-18-06 at 02:04 PM
In the cTK article Regular Polyhedra, Alexander Bogomolny discusses Euler's Formula. He remarkds that it was first proved by Descartes in 1639. I would be grateful if he or anyone could give me a reference for this; I haven't been able to find anything on-line about Descartes' proof.
Many thanks, Abi Kirk.
