The study of the geometry of structures that arise in a variety of specific natural systems, such as chemical, physical, biological, and geological, revealed the existence of a wide range of types of polytopes of the highest dimension that were unknown in classical geometry. At the same time, new properties of polytopes were discovered as well as the geometric patterns to which they obey. There is a need to classify these types of polytopes of the highest dimension by listing their properties and formulating the laws to which they obey. The Classes of Higher Dimensional Polytopes in Chemical, Physical, and Biological Systems explains the meaning of higher dimensions and systematically generalizes the results of geometric research in various fields of knowledge. This book is useful both for the fundamental development of geometry and for the development of branches of science related to human activities. It builds upon previous books published by the author on this topic. Covering areas such as heredity, geometry, and dimensions, this reference work is ideal for researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, industry professionals, instructors, and students.
