Title: Geodesic math and how to use it / by Hugh Kenner. Berkeley :
University of California Press, c1976.
Description: xi, 172 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.

Subjects: Geodesic domes -- Mathematical models.

Also, here is a snippet from an old copy of the Comp.graphics FAQ:

15) How to tesselate a sphere.

One simple way is to do recursive subdivision into triangles. The
base of the recursion is an octahedron, and then each level divides
each triangle into four smaller ones. Jon Leech <leech@xxxxxxxxxx>
has posted a nice routine called sphere.c that generates the coordinates.
It's available for FTP on ftp.ee.lbl.gov and weedeater.math.yale.edu.
