Rolling tetrahedral and cubic dice
Abstract
A dice is rolled on a table by repeatedly rotating the dice about one of its edges on the table top. Here we discuss the relationship between the path taken by the dice and the effective rotation of the dice from its initial orientation to its final orientation. The same problem is then discussed for a tetrahedral dice.
