In [[geometry]], the '''snub cube''', or '''snub cuboctahedron''', is an [[Archimedean solid]] with 38 faces: 6 [[square (geometry)|square]]s and 32 [[equilateral triangle]]s. It has 60 [[edge (geometry)|edges]] and 24 [[vertex (geometry)|vertices]]. [[Kepler]] first named it in [[Latin]] as ''cubus simus'' in 1619 in his [[Harmonices Mundi]].{{r|cbg}} [[H. S. M. Coxeter]], noting it could be derived equally from the octahedron as the cube, called it '''snub cuboctahedron''', with a vertical extended [[Schläfli symbol]] <math>s \scriptstyle\begin{Bmatrix} 4 \\ 3 \end{Bmatrix}</math>, and representing an [[Alternation (geometry)|alternation]] of a [[truncated cuboctahedron]], which has Schläfli symbol <math>t \scriptstyle\begin{Bmatrix} 4 \\ 3 \end{Bmatrix}</math>.
