2. Reflection symmetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_symmetry

   In mathematics, reflection symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, or mirror-image symmetry is symmetry with respect to a reflection. That is, a figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry. In 2-dimensional space, there is a line/axis of symmetry, in 3-dimensional space, there is a plane of symmetry.

3. Symmetry (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_(geometry)

   In one dimension, there is a point of symmetry about which reflection takes place; in two dimensions, there is an axis of symmetry (a.k.a., line of symmetry), and in three dimensions there is a plane of symmetry. [3] [9] An object or figure for which every point has a one-to-one mapping onto another, equidistant from and on opposite sides of a ...

4. Symmetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

   The role of symmetry in grouping and figure/ground organization has been confirmed in many studies. For instance, detection of reflectional symmetry is faster when this is a property of a single object. [29] Studies of human perception and psychophysics have shown that detection of symmetry is fast, efficient and robust to perturbations.

5. Symmetry in mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_mathematics

   Symmetry occurs not only in geometry, but also in other branches of mathematics. Symmetry is a type of invariance: the property that a mathematical object remains unchanged under a set of operations or transformations. [1] Given a structured object X of any sort, a symmetry is a mapping of the object onto itself which preserves the structure.

   The proper rotations, (order-3 rotation on a vertex and face, and order-2 on two edges) and reflection plane (through two faces and one edge) in the symmetry group of the regular tetrahedron The regular tetrahedron has 24 isometries, forming the symmetry group known as full tetrahedral symmetry T d {\displaystyle \mathrm {T} _{\mathrm {d} }} .

7. List of spherical symmetry groups - Wikipedia

   There are five fundamental symmetry classes which have triangular fundamental domains: dihedral, cyclic, tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral symmetry. This article lists the groups by Schoenflies notation , Coxeter notation , [ 1 ] orbifold notation , [ 2 ] and order.
