Legacy
The Icosian Calculus is one of the earliest examples of many mathematical ideas, including:
- presenting and studying a group by generators and relations;
- a triangle group, later generalized to Coxeter groups;
- visualization of a group by a graph, which led to combinatorial group theory and later geometric group theory;
- Hamiltonian circuits and Hamiltonian paths in graph theory;
- dessin d'enfant – see dessin d'enfant: history for details.
