Symmetry

Symmetry is a math concept that easily translates to physics and art. There are many flavors of symmetry besides your typical. Symmetry compresses information by encoding complex patterns.

11 Cultural Symbols Beautiful because of their Rotational Symmetry

Rotational symmetry is everywhere in cultural symbols. As far back as we have artifacts, we also have symbols with rotational symmetry. This fact emphasizes the importance of rotational symmetry archetypes in the development of society and culture. Here are 11 examples. This list of examples is by no means comprehensive. I simply picked a number, […]

Rotational Symmetry of a Parallelogram: Clear Working out

rotational symmetry of a parallelogram

Fun introduction to symmetry and a common geometry lies here. Parallelograms also include rhombuses when sides are equal, rectangle when angles are equal, and square when both sides and angles are equal. Once you see the rotational symmetry of a parallelogram, you can see the rotational symmetry of all 4 four-forms much simpler. How To

The Truth About Seeing Angle Of Rotational Symmetry

anglesofrotationalsymmetry

There are actually many different types of symmetry. The typical, butterfly-style symmetry is “bilateral” reflectional symmetry. Rotational symmetry emanates from the center. (In 2D shapes, there are four kinds of symmetry you can have: reflectional, rotational, translational, and by transflection.) What is the Angle of Rotational Symmetry? The angle of rotational symmetry (also called radial
