The only regular polytope in one dimension is the line segment, with Schlafli symbol {}.
The hypersphere in 1 dimension is a pair of points, sometimes called a 0-sphere as its surface is zero-dimensional. Its length is
where is the radius.
The most popular coordinate systems are the number line and the angle.
