Asymmetry is the absence of, or a violation of, symmetry (the property of an object being invariant to a transformation, such as reflection). [1] Symmetry is an important property of both physical and abstract systems and it may be displayed in precise terms or in more aesthetic terms. [2]
Examples include even and odd functions in calculus, symmetric groups in abstract algebra, symmetric matrices in linear algebra, and Galois groups in Galois theory. In statistics , symmetry also manifests as symmetric probability distributions , and as skewness —the asymmetry of distributions.
Enantioselective synthesis, also called asymmetric synthesis, [1] is a form of chemical synthesis.It is defined by IUPAC as "a chemical reaction (or reaction sequence) in which one or more new elements of chirality are formed in a substrate molecule and which produces the stereoisomeric (enantiomeric or diastereomeric) products in unequal amounts."

Chirality is also seen in the study of facial asymmetry and is known as aurofacial asymmetry. [35] Schema of the development of the axial twist in vertebrates. According to the Axial Twist theory, vertebrate animals develop into a left-handed chirality. Due to this, the brain is turned around and the heart and bowels are turned by 90°. [36]
Rococo, less commonly Roccoco (/ r ə ˈ k oʊ k oʊ / rə-KOH-koh, US also / ˌ r oʊ k ə ˈ k oʊ / ROH-kə-KOH; French: or ⓘ), also known as Late Baroque, is an exceptionally ornamental and dramatic style of architecture, art and decoration which combines asymmetry, scrolling curves, gilding, white and pastel colours, sculpted moulding, and trompe-l'œil frescoes to create surprise and ...
The BV 141 was heralded by the Germans as the first asymmetric aircraft, [2] an evaluation batch was built, but it was never ordered into full-scale production. The BV 237 ground-attack aircraft was ordered but later cancelled. Other projects and design studies of the period included: Messerschmitt P.1109 oblique wing jet
In contract theory, mechanism design, and economics, an information asymmetry is a situation where one party has more or better information than the other. Information asymmetry creates an imbalance of power in transactions, which can sometimes cause the transactions to be inefficient, causing market failure in the worst case.
