  2. Point reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_reflection

    The term reflection is loose, and considered by some an abuse of language, with inversion preferred; however, point reflection is widely used. Such maps are involutions, meaning that they have order 2 – they are their own inverse: applying them twice yields the identity map – which is also true of other maps called reflections.

  3. Ambigram - Wikipedia

    Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was published in June, wrote, "I think it is in the only word in the English language which has this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams wrote, about his "Bet" ambigram, "Possibly B is the only letter of the alphabet that will produce such an interesting anomaly." [34] [35]

  4. Alhazen's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhazen's_problem

    The problem comprises drawing lines from two points, meeting at a third point on the circumference of a circle and making equal angles with the normal at that point (specular reflection). Thus, its main application in optics is to solve the problem, "Find the point on a spherical convex mirror at which a ray of light coming from a given point ...

  5. Reflection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Point Q is the reflection of point P through the line AB. In a plane (or, respectively, 3-dimensional) geometry, to find the reflection of a point drop a perpendicular from the point to the line (plane) used for reflection, and extend it the same distance on the other side. To find the reflection of a figure, reflect each point in the figure.

  6. Parity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_(physics)

    In physics, a parity transformation (also called parity inversion) is the flip in the sign of one spatial coordinate.In three dimensions, it can also refer to the simultaneous flip in the sign of all three spatial coordinates (a point reflection):

  7. Inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion

    Inversion in a point, or point reflection, a kind of isometric (distance-preserving) transformation in a Euclidean space; Inversion transformation, a conformal transformation (one which preserves angles of intersection) Method of inversion, the image of a harmonic function in a sphere (or plane); see Method of image charges

  9. de Longchamps point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Longchamps_point

    The de Longchamps point L of triangle ABC, formed as the reflection of the orthocenter H about the circumcenter O or as the orthocenter of the anticomplementary triangle A'B'C' In geometry, the de Longchamps point of a triangle is a triangle center named after French mathematician Gaston Albert Gohierre de Longchamps.
