Talk:Norman Johnson (mathematician)

Untitled
There may be some confusion in the categories with Norman Lloyd Johnson. Was this Norman Johnson English? There is nothing in the article to suggest it. Was he born in 1917, the same year as Norman Lloyd Johnson? A coincidence if so, and did he really not get his PhD until he was 49? RachelBrown 17:06, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Of course Lloyd usually isn't abbreviated W. --Tamfang 03:15, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

"possibly living"?

George Olshevsky reports that he died yesterday of a heart attack. —Tamfang (talk) 22:03, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Uniform polyhedron class names
I tried to sort out these names from the MathWorld page, but still a mess. I'm glad if anyone else wants to finish and move the table back. Part of the problem is the uniform star polyhedron in general have fractional reflection orders (Schwarz triangles), while some have right triangles and are simplier. Most can be represented by Wythoff symbols, but some have extended/mixed wythoff symbols. Perhaps the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams should be abandoned since, they are only easy to draw if linear (r=2), and still no more powerful than Wythoff for the mixed forms.

SECTION TO BE FIXED
He has also recently suggested a revised naming for the uniform polyhedra from the Har'El names, diving them into these groups:
