What is the most horrible name you could give to an arrangement of triangles? Well, another word for arrangement is a complex. And a triangle is the canonical simplex. So: a simplex complex? Its a cute name, but it misses the point. The technical term is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplicial_complex Simplicial complex]. Yeah, simplicial. Who but a mathematician would determine "simple" to be not complex enough?

Who but a mathematician would determine "simple," and then "simplex," to be not-complex-enough?

	Oh, a simplex is a shape that has exactly one more vertex than it has dimensions (like a triangle, and a pyramid). Its still synonymous with simple as an adjective.
