The study of mathematical symmetries

L'étude des symétries mathématiques

IN BRIEF Central symmetry: transformation around a point, preserving the properties of the original figure. Construction of symmetricals: procedure to obtain the symmetrical of a point, a segment, or a figure. Center of symmetry: a point O if its symmetrical is identical to the figure. Geometric transformation: symmetry is an involutive form, preserving parallelism. Applications: … Read more
