The focus of this monograph is converting-reshaping-one 3D convex polyhedron to another via an operation the authors call "tailoring." A convex polyhedron is a gem-like shape composed of flat facets, the focus of study since Plato and Euclid. The tailoring operation snips off a corner (a "vertex") of a polyhedron and sutures closed the hole. This is akin to Johannes Kepler's "vertex truncation," but differs in that the hole left by a truncated vertex is filled with new surface, whereas tailoring zips the hole closed. A powerful "gluing" theorem of A.D. Alexandrov from 1950 guarantees that, aft...
