I can't wrap my brain around this today.

If you have hexagons attached to the edges of a pentagon in 2D, how far must you rotate two of the hexagon around their common edge with the pentagon, to bring their common edge into alignment? image description image description

That is, how do you calculate it. It might be squares around a triangle, or pentagons around a square etc.

However, as a counter-counter example, your formulation also works for hexagons around a triangle: hexagons around a tri

2021-05-02 18:41:31 +0100 marked best answer How to create a 3D plot of a parametric equation that requires 3 variables?

I'm try to plot (one nappe of) a cone using the parametric formula (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone#Eq...) : parametric equation

where s , t , u range over [ 0 , θ ), [ 0 , 2 π ) , and [ 0 , h ], respectively.

I tried:

parametric_plot3d((u*tan(s)*cos(t),u*tan(s)*sin(t),u),(u,0,20),(s,0,60*(pi/180)),(t,0,2*pi) )

but it took the third range as plot_points.

Then I tried:

parametric_plot3d((u*tan(t/6)*cos(t),u*tan(t/6)*sin(t),u),(u,0,20),(t,0,2*pi) )

attempting to let t do double duty as s also. It plots, but produces: image description

Which is pretty, but no cigar.

How can I achieve my goal?

Update: I found another formulation of the equation on the web and tried:

parametric_plot3d( ( sin(x*arctan(y/x))*sin(y*arctan(y/x)), sin(x*arctan(y/x))*cos(y*arctan(y/x)), sin(x*arctan(y/x)) ), (x,-pi,pi), (y,-pi,pi) )

And got:

bad code 2

Ditto on the absence of stoggies.

The Sage tutorial says:

or from the Sage notebook (click Help, then click Tutorial to interactively work through the tutorial from within Sage).

but when I follow those directions I get:

``` 404 : Not Found

You are requesting a page that does not exist! ```

The url in the new tab that appears is:

http://localhost:8888/kernelspecs/sagemath/doc/tutorial/index.html?v=20210430004223

And the notebook server shows:

``` [W 08:24:19.246 NotebookApp] 404 GET /kernelspecs/sagemath/doc/tutorial/index.html?v=20210430004223

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the comprehensive explanation. 8.9 downloading now. I'm looking forward to the live tutorial.
