| Symmetry group Coxeter group In mathematics, a Coxeter group, named after H.S.M. Coxeter, is an abstract group that admits a formal description in terms of mirror symmetries. Indeed, the finite Coxeter groups are precisely the finite Euclidean reflection groups; the symmetry groups of regular polyhedra are an example... |

Geometry
Geometry arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers ....
, the small stellated 120-cell is a star polychoron with Schläfli symbol {5/2,5,3}. It is one of 10 regular Schläfli-Hess polychora.
Related polytopes
It has the same edge arrangement as the great grand 120-cell, and also shares its 120 vertices with the 600-cell and eight other star polychora.See also
