  2. Symmetry in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_mathematics

    Geometrically, the graph of an odd function has rotational symmetry with respect to the origin, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after rotation of 180 degrees about the origin. Examples of odd functions are x, x 3, sin(x), sinh(x), and erf(x).

  3. Symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

    The type of symmetry is determined by the way the pieces are organized, or by the type of transformation: An object has reflectional symmetry (line or mirror symmetry) if there is a line (or in 3D a plane) going through it which divides it into two pieces that are mirror images of each other. [6]

  4. Symmetry (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Antipodal symmetry is an alternative name for a point reflection symmetry through the origin. [14] Such a "reflection" preserves orientation if and only if k is an even number. [15] This implies that for m = 3 (as well as for other odd m), a point reflection changes the orientation of the space, like a mirror-image symmetry.

    Origin of Symmetry is the second studio album by English rock band Muse, released on 18 June 2001 through Taste Media. It was produced by John Leckie , who produced Muse's debut album, Showbiz (1999), and David Bottrill.

    C i (equivalent to S 2) – inversion symmetry; C 2 – 2-fold rotational symmetry; C s (equivalent to C 1h and C 1v) – reflection symmetry, also called bilateral symmetry. Patterns on a cylindrical band illustrating the case n = 6 for each of the 7 infinite families of point groups. The symmetry group of each pattern is the indicated group.

    Geometrically, the graph of an odd function has rotational symmetry with respect to the origin, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after rotation of 180 degrees about the origin. If = is in the domain of an odd function (), then () =. Examples of odd functions are:

  8. Minkowski's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski's_theorem

    For n = 2, the theorem claims that a convex figure in the Euclidean plane symmetric about the origin and with area greater than 4 encloses at least one lattice point in addition to the origin. The area bound is sharp : if S is the interior of the square with vertices (±1, ±1) then S is symmetric and convex, and has area 4, but the only ...

  9. Origin (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_(mathematics)

    The origin of a Cartesian coordinate system. In mathematics, the origin of a Euclidean space is a special point, usually denoted by the letter O, used as a fixed point of reference for the geometry of the surrounding space. In physical problems, the choice of origin is often arbitrary, meaning any choice of origin will ultimately give the same ...
