Truly awful graph

The graphic titled "Graphs of volumes (V) and surface areas (S) ..." contains the valuable information consisting of the exact values of volumes of unit spheres and unit balls for many low dimensions.

Unfortunately, this graphic is so poorly labeled that it is virtually unreadable.

No axes are labeled, or if they are, the labeling is incomprehensible.

One does not even find numbers for dimensions along the x-axis (except in a few cases).

I hope someone can produce a graphic that contains the same information, but much more clearly marked. 2601:200:C000:1A0:E0B5:5C8B:ACD0:5BEA (talk) 18:54, 25 September 2022 (UTC)


Non-sensical graph?

I don't think, the graph makes any sense at all. It suggests that the volume of balls in different dimensions can be compared. That is like comparing meters to square-meters.


Not a great reference yet

I just made some edits to the 'volume and surface area' section to make it more useful as a quick-reference for the formulas. Hopefully that's okay. I haven't edited much on Wikipedia before, but it was so hard to figure out what I was looking for that I was inspired to fix it up. If anyone objects, please make it better instead of reverting to what it was before, which was very hard to follow. Shevvvv (talk) 21:07, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
