Glide reflection — In geometry, a glide reflection is a type of isometry of the Euclidean plane: the combination of a reflection in a line and a translation along that line. Reversing the order of combining gives the same result. Depending on context, we may… … Wikipedia
Wallpaper group — A wallpaper group (or plane symmetry group or plane crystallographic group) is a mathematical classification of a two dimensional repetitive pattern, based on the symmetries in the pattern. Such patterns occur frequently in architecture and… … Wikipedia
Euclidean plane isometry — In geometry, a Euclidean plane isometry is an isometry of the Euclidean plane, or more informally, a way of transforming the plane that preserves geometrical properties such as length. There are four types: translations, rotations, reflections,… … Wikipedia
Frieze group — A frieze group is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two dimensional surfaces which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. Such patterns occur frequently in architecture and decorative art. The… … Wikipedia
Orbifold notation — In geometry, orbifold notation (or orbifold signature) is a system, invented by William Thurston and popularized by the mathematician John Conway, for representing types of symmetry groups in two dimensional spaces of constant curvature. The… … Wikipedia
Euclidean group — In mathematics, the Euclidean group E ( n ), sometimes called ISO( n ) or similar, is the symmetry group of n dimensional Euclidean space. Its elements, the isometries associated with the Euclidean metric, are called Euclidean moves.These groups… … Wikipedia
Transformation (function) — In mathematics, a transformation could be any function mapping a set X on to another set or on to itself. However, often the set X has some additional algebraic or geometric structure and the term transformation refers to a function from X to… … Wikipedia

Transformation (geometry) — In mathematics, a transformation could be any function from a set X to itself. However, often the set X has some additional algebraic or geometric structure and the term transformation refers to a function from X to itself which preserves this… … Wikipedia
Point groups in three dimensions — In geometry, a point group in three dimensions is an isometry group in three dimensions that leaves the origin fixed, or correspondingly, an isometry group of a sphere. It is a subgroup of the orthogonal group O(3), the group of all isometries… … Wikipedia
Symmetry group — Not to be confused with Symmetric group. This article is about the abstract algebraic structures. For other meanings, see Symmetry group (disambiguation). A tetrahedron can be placed in 12 distinct positions by rotation alone. These are… … Wikipedia
