Etymology
. Popularized by Canadian geometer.

 * 2) * 1983 [North Holland/Elsevier], Robert S. Borden, A Course in Advanced Calculus, 1998, Dover, page 83,
 * Suppose now that $$P$$ is a $$k$$-dimensional parallelotope, $$1<k<n$$, in $$E^n$$.
 * 1) * 1997, Daniel A. Klain,, Introduction to Geometric Probability, , , page 30,
 * We develop next a theory of invariant valuations for the lattice of finite unions of orthogonal parallelotopes, having edgers parallel to a fixed frame.This follows from the basic fact that the intersection of two parallelotopes is a parallelotope.
