The reason is that Poinsot had been very active in mathematics even while he was supposed to be studying for an engineering qualification. He had published a number of works on geometry, mechanics and statics beginning with in 1803 and following this with [1]:- ... memoirs that dealt with the composition of moments and the composition of areas , the general theory of equilibrium and of movements in systems , and polygons and polyhedra Certainly Poinsot had been very busy during his years as a school teacher of mathematics and by 1809 he had made for himself a fine reputation. In 1812 Poinsot arranged for Reynaud Cauchy to substitute for him after Reynaud Lagrange Poinsot had high principles when it came to mathematics research and the publication of it [1]:- Poinsot was determined to publish only fully developed results and to present them with clarity and elegance. Consequently he left a rather limited body of work ...

Louis Poinsot Born: 3 Jan 1777 in Paris, France Died: 5 Dec 1859 in Paris, France Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page Louis Poinsot His research in geometry, statics and dynamics is important. He was the inventor of geometrical mechanics, investigating how a system of forces acting on a rigid body could be resolved into a single force and a couple. He wrote an important work on polyhedra in 1809, discovering four new regular polyhedra, two of which appear in Kepler 's work of 1619 but Poinsot was unaware of this. In 1810 Cauchy proved that, with this definition of regular, the enumeration of regular polyhedra is complete. A mistake was discovered in Poinsot's (and hence Cauchy 's) definition in 1990 when an internal inconsistency became apparent.

LOUIS POINSOT POINSOT, LOUIS (1777-1859), French mathematician, was born at Paris on the 3rd of January 1777. In 1794 he became a scholar at the cole Polytechnique, which he left in 1796 to act as a civil engineer. In 1804 he was appointed professor of mathematics at the Lyce, in 1809 professor of analysis and mechanics, and in 1816 examiner at the cole Polytechnique.On the death of J. L. Lagrange, in 1813, Poinsot was elected to his place in the Acadmie des Sciences; and in 1840 he became a member of the superior council of public instruction. In 1846 he was made an officer of the Legion of Honor; and on the formation of the senate in 1852 he was chosen a member of that body. He died at Paris on the 5th of December 1859. See J. L. F.

6. Kepler-Poinsot Polyhedra The Keplerpoinsot Polyhedra. If we do not require polyhedra to be convex, we can find four described by louis poinsot in 1809, although Jamnitzer made a picture of http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/kepler-poinsot-info.html

The Kepler-Poinsot Polyhedra If we do not require polyhedra to be convex , we can find four more regular solids. As in the Platonic solids , these solids have identical regular polygons for all their faces, and the same number of faces meet at each vertex. What is new is that we allow for a notion of "going around twice" which results in faces which intersect each other. In the great stellated dodecahedron and the small stellated dodecahedron , the faces are pentagrams . It is easier to see which parts of the exterior belong to which pentagram if you look at a six-colored model of the great stellated dodecahedron and a six-colored model of the small stellated dodecahedron . The center of each pentagram is hidden inside the polyhedron. These two polyhedra were described by Johannes Kepler in 1619, and he deserves credit for first understanding them mathematically, but a 16th century drawing by Jamnitzer is very similar to the former and a 15th century mosaic attributed to Uccello illustrates the latter. These two polyhedra have three and five pentagrams, respectively, meeting at each vertex. Because the faces intersect each other, parts of each face are hidden by other faces, and you need to
