- symmetric differenceThe set that contains all elements belonging to either of given two sets but not to the both; the relative complement of the intersection in the union of given two sets.
- symmetric groupA group whose elements are precisely all of the bijections of some set with itself and whose operation is composition of those bijections.
- symmetric polynomialA polynomial which remains unchanged if its variables are permuted
- skew-symmetricOf a matrix, satisfying A^( textsf )T=-A, i.e. having entries on one side of the diagonal that are the additive inverses of their correspondents on the other side of the diagonal and having only zeroes on the main diagonal.
