The page at mathworld on polyhredron seems slightly confusing. It starts out by saying:
"The word polyhedron has slightly different meanings in geometry and algebraic geometry."
It then details the meaning in geometry, and then details the meaning in algebraic _topology_. It never again mentions algebraic geometry. Should I assume the mention of algebraic geometry was an error, and algebraic topology was intended in the first sentence?
Yes, the reference to algebraic geometry should be to algebraic topology.

Ah, thanks for that Rob. alex .
