Symmetry
Symmetry is a classic study of symmetry in mathematics, the sciences, nature, and art from one of the twentieth century's greatest mathematicians.Hermann Weyl explores the concept of symmetry beginning with the idea that it represents a harmony of proportions, and gradually departs to examine its more abstract varieties and manifestations--as bilateral, translatory, rotational, ornamental, and crystallographic.Weyl investigates the general abstract mathematical idea underlying all these special forms, using a wealth of illustrations as support.Symmetry is a work of seminal relevance that explores the great variety of applications and importance of symmetry.

Why Beauty Is Truth : A History of Symmetry
At the heart of relativity theory, quantum mechanics, string theory, and much of modern cosmology lies one concept: symmetry. In Why Beauty Is Truth , world-famous mathematician Ian Stewart narrates the history of the emergence of this remarkable area of study.Stewart introduces us to such characters as the Renaissance Italian genius, rogue, scholar, and gambler Girolamo Cardano, who stole the modern method of solving cubic equations and published it in the first important book on algebra, and the young revolutionary Evariste Galois, who refashioned the whole of mathematics and founded the field of group theory only to die in a pointless duel over a woman before his work was published.Stewart also explores the strange numerology of real mathematics, in which particular numbers have unique and unpredictable properties related to symmetry.He shows how Wilhelm Killing discovered Lie groups" with 14, 52, 78, 133, and 248 dimensions-groups whose very existence is a profound puzzle.Finally, Stewart describes the world beyond superstrings: the octonionic" symmetries that may explain the very existence of the universe.

Her Fearful Symmetry
When Elspeth Noblin dies she leaves her beautiful flat overlooking Highgate Cemetery to her twin nieces, Julia and Valentina Poole, on the condition that their mother is never allowed to cross the threshold.But until the solicitor's letter falls through the door of their suburban American home, either Julia nor Valentina knew their aunt existed.The twins hope that in London their own, separate, lives can finally begin but they have no idea that they've been summoned into a tangle of fraying lives, from the obsessive-compulsive crossword setter who lives above them to their aunt's mysterious and elusive lover who lives below them and works in the cemetery itself.As the twins unravel the secrets of their aunt, who doesn't seem quite ready to leave her flat, even after death, Niffenegger weaves together a delicious and deadly ghost story about love, loss and identity.

What types of symmetry are there: point symmetry, axis symmetry, or no symmetry?
There are three types of symmetry: point symmetry, axis symmetry, and no symmetry. Point symmetry occurs when an object can be rotated 180 degrees around a central point and still look the same. Axis symmetry, also known as reflection symmetry, occurs when an object can be reflected across a line and still look the same. No symmetry means that the object does not have any regular repeating pattern or axis of reflection.

What is the difference between axis symmetry, axis of symmetry, rotational symmetry, and point symmetry?
Axis symmetry refers to the property of a shape being symmetrical with respect to an axis, meaning that if the shape is folded along the axis, the two halves will coincide. The axis of symmetry is the line along which the shape is symmetrical. Rotational symmetry refers to the property of a shape being able to be rotated by a certain angle and still look the same. Point symmetry refers to the property of a shape being symmetrical with respect to a central point, meaning that if the shape is rotated 180 degrees around the point, it will look the same.

What are the similarities between axial symmetry and point symmetry?
Both axial symmetry and point symmetry involve the concept of symmetry in geometric shapes. In axial symmetry, an object is symmetrical if it can be divided into two equal halves by a line of symmetry. Similarly, in point symmetry, an object is symmetrical if it looks the same after being rotated 180 degrees around a central point. Both types of symmetry result in balanced and visually appealing shapes.

What is the difference between axis symmetry and point symmetry?
Axis symmetry refers to a shape or object being symmetrical with respect to an axis, meaning that if you were to fold the shape along the axis, the two halves would perfectly overlap. Point symmetry, on the other hand, refers to a shape or object being symmetrical with respect to a single point, meaning that if you were to rotate the shape 180 degrees around that point, it would look the same. In essence, axis symmetry involves reflection across a line, while point symmetry involves rotation around a point.

What is the difference between point symmetry and rotational symmetry?
Point symmetry occurs when a figure looks the same after being rotated 180 degrees around a central point, while rotational symmetry occurs when a figure looks the same after being rotated a certain angle around a central point. In other words, point symmetry requires a 180-degree rotation to look the same, while rotational symmetry can occur with rotations of different angles. Additionally, point symmetry is a specific type of rotational symmetry, as it is a rotation of 180 degrees.

What are symmetry functions?
Symmetry functions are mathematical functions used to describe the local environment of atoms in a material. They are often used in machine learning models to represent the atomic structure and interactions within a material. Symmetry functions capture the spatial arrangement of neighboring atoms around a central atom and can be used to predict material properties such as stability, reactivity, and mechanical behavior. These functions are particularly useful for understanding and predicting the behavior of complex materials with diverse atomic arrangements.

Point or axis symmetry?
Point symmetry occurs when a figure can be rotated 180 degrees around a central point and still look the same. Axis symmetry, on the other hand, occurs when a figure can be reflected across a line and still look the same. Point symmetry is less common in geometric figures compared to axis symmetry.
-
What is rotational symmetry?
Rotational symmetry is a type of symmetry where a shape or object can be rotated by a certain angle and still look the same. In other words, if you can rotate a shape less than 360 degrees and it appears unchanged, then it has rotational symmetry. The number of times a shape can be rotated and still look the same is called its order of rotational symmetry. Shapes like circles have infinite rotational symmetry, as they look the same no matter how many times they are rotated.
