Sphere packing

In mathematics, sphere packing problems are problems concerning arrangements of non-overlapping identical spheres which fill a space. Usually the space involved is three-dimensional Euclidean space. However, sphere packing problems can be generalised to two dimensional space (where the "spheres" are circles), to n-dimensional space (where the "spheres" are hyperspheres) and to non-Euclidean spaces such as hyperbolic space.
