Re: [math-fun] name for 1/8 of sphere

Thanks to all. I'll go with "spherical octant", per Dan's P.S. although I must say "hemidemisemisphere" has a really nice ring to it. :) --Jim On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 9:10 PM, Dan Asimov <dasimov@earthlink.net> wrote:

P.S. The term "spherical octant" has a number of citations from peer-reviewed journals, 66 on Google Scholar, and 484 on vanilla Google, so it's probably "officially" correct.
