Symmetry : A Mathematical Exploration
This textbook invites readers to explore the properties of objects that we effortlessly recognize as symmetrical.From the human body, to elaborate artworks and abstract networks, symmetry is ubiquitous in the world around us; it is essential to function and beauty across the built and natural world.By developing mathematical language to describe symmetry, this textbook equips readers to explore symmetries with precision, illuminating commonalities across art and science. Beginning with an exploration of intuitive notions of symmetry, the author introduces the algebraic structure of groups by examining rotations and reflections.Topics that follow include the classification of two-dimensional patterns, the Platonic solids, and a study of real and prime numbers.This second edition features numerous new examples and exercises, “Elements of Mathematics” sections that more closely examine mathematical tools, and optional content that offers opportunities for extension.Figures are woven into the presentation throughout, with many illustrations now offered in motion as integrated video content. Symmetry suits a wide audience, demanding no mathematical training past high school basics, yet stretching the imagination of math and non-math majors alike.Its engaging yet rigorous style offers a window into mathematicians’ ways of thinking.By developing mathematical reasoning skills in a spatial context, this text is ideal for a course that meets quantitative requirements for non-STEM majors.Instructors will appreciate the author’s comprehensive online resources, which include a full set of animated lecture slides; all readers will delight in watching the book’s content come alive using the multimedia app.

Fearful Symmetry
A way station for a lot of young talents-in-waiting, Box of Chocolates hailed from the still-forbidding borough of Brooklyn at the end of the 1980s, with their one album released at the dawn of the '90s. They contained multitudes, including indie-rockers-to-be, a motion-picture actor, a figment of early Phish's imagination, an enthomusicologist, a 2019 Tony Award winner and some weirdos too. Box of Chocolates took the cake and ate it too, as only happened in the freewheeling confines of the US 80s-90s.

What types of symmetry are there: point symmetry, axis symmetry, or no symmetry?
There are three types of symmetry: point symmetry, axis symmetry, and no symmetry. Point symmetry occurs when an object can be rotated 180 degrees around a central point and still look the same. Axis symmetry, also known as reflection symmetry, occurs when an object can be reflected across a line and still look the same. No symmetry means that the object does not have any regular repeating pattern or axis of reflection.

What is the difference between axis symmetry, axis of symmetry, rotational symmetry, and point symmetry?
Axis symmetry refers to the property of a shape being symmetrical with respect to an axis, meaning that if the shape is folded along the axis, the two halves will coincide. The axis of symmetry is the line along which the shape is symmetrical. Rotational symmetry refers to the property of a shape being able to be rotated by a certain angle and still look the same. Point symmetry refers to the property of a shape being symmetrical with respect to a central point, meaning that if the shape is rotated 180 degrees around the point, it will look the same.
-
What are the similarities between axial symmetry and point symmetry?
Both axial symmetry and point symmetry involve the concept of symmetry in geometric shapes. In axial symmetry, an object is symmetrical if it can be divided into two equal halves by a line of symmetry. Similarly, in point symmetry, an object is symmetrical if it looks the same after being rotated 180 degrees around a central point. Both types of symmetry result in balanced and visually appealing shapes.

What is the difference between axis symmetry and point symmetry?
Axis symmetry refers to a shape or object being symmetrical with respect to an axis, meaning that if you were to fold the shape along the axis, the two halves would perfectly overlap. Point symmetry, on the other hand, refers to a shape or object being symmetrical with respect to a single point, meaning that if you were to rotate the shape 180 degrees around that point, it would look the same. In essence, axis symmetry involves reflection across a line, while point symmetry involves rotation around a point.

Her Fearful Symmetry
When Elspeth Noblin dies she leaves her beautiful flat overlooking Highgate Cemetery to her twin nieces, Julia and Valentina Poole, on the condition that their mother is never allowed to cross the threshold.But until the solicitor's letter falls through the door of their suburban American home, either Julia nor Valentina knew their aunt existed.The twins hope that in London their own, separate, lives can finally begin but they have no idea that they've been summoned into a tangle of fraying lives, from the obsessive-compulsive crossword setter who lives above them to their aunt's mysterious and elusive lover who lives below them and works in the cemetery itself.As the twins unravel the secrets of their aunt, who doesn't seem quite ready to leave her flat, even after death, Niffenegger weaves together a delicious and deadly ghost story about love, loss and identity.

Groups and Symmetry
Groups are important because they measure symmetry.This text, designed for undergraduate mathematics students, provides a gentle introduction to the highlights of elementary group theory.Written in an informal style, the material is divided into short sections each of which deals with an important result or a new idea.Throughout the book, the emphasis is placed on concrete examples, many of them geometrical in nature, so that finite rotation groups and the seventeen wallpaper groups are treated in detail alongside theoretical results such as Lagrange's theorem, the Sylow theorems, and the classification theorem for finitely generated abelian groups.A novel feature at this level is a proof of the Nielsen-Schreier theorem, using group actions on trees.There are more than three hundred exercises and approximately sixty illustrations to help develop the student's intuition.

What is the difference between point symmetry and rotational symmetry?
Point symmetry occurs when a figure looks the same after being rotated 180 degrees around a central point, while rotational symmetry occurs when a figure looks the same after being rotated a certain angle around a central point. In other words, point symmetry requires a 180-degree rotation to look the same, while rotational symmetry can occur with rotations of different angles. Additionally, point symmetry is a specific type of rotational symmetry, as it is a rotation of 180 degrees.

What are symmetry functions?
Symmetry functions are mathematical functions used to describe the local environment of atoms in a material. They are often used in machine learning models to represent the atomic structure and interactions within a material. Symmetry functions capture the spatial arrangement of neighboring atoms around a central atom and can be used to predict material properties such as stability, reactivity, and mechanical behavior. These functions are particularly useful for understanding and predicting the behavior of complex materials with diverse atomic arrangements.

Point or axis symmetry?
Point symmetry occurs when a figure can be rotated 180 degrees around a central point and still look the same. Axis symmetry, on the other hand, occurs when a figure can be reflected across a line and still look the same. Point symmetry is less common in geometric figures compared to axis symmetry.
-
What is rotational symmetry?
Rotational symmetry is a type of symmetry where a shape or object can be rotated by a certain angle and still look the same. In other words, if you can rotate a shape less than 360 degrees and it appears unchanged, then it has rotational symmetry. The number of times a shape can be rotated and still look the same is called its order of rotational symmetry. Shapes like circles have infinite rotational symmetry, as they look the same no matter how many times they are rotated.
