Phrases 24
- axis of symmetryAny of one or more lines about which a geometric figure is symmetric
- centre of symmetryA point, within an object or figure, through which any straight line also passes through two points on the edge of the figure at the same distance from the centre but on opposite sides.

- plane of symmetryA plane about which a geometric figure is symmetric (by reflection)
- axes of symmetryplural of axis of symmetry: Any of one or more lines about which a geometric figure is symmetric
- symmetry groupA group whose elements are all the transformations under which a given object remains invariant and whose group operation is function composition.
- radial symmetryA form of symmetry in which identical parts are arranged in a circular fashion around a central axis.
- order of symmetryWhen being turned through a full revolution, the number of times a shape looks the same as in the initial orientation.

- T-symmetryThe theoretical symmetry of physical laws under the transformation of time reversal, T:t↦-t..

- symmetricSynonym of symmetrical: Exhibiting symmetry; having harmonious or proportionate arrangement of parts; having corresponding parts or relations.
- asymmetryAn absence of symmetry or proportion between the parts of a thing, or a distinction that produces such a lack of symmetry.
- supersymmetryA theory that attempts to unify the fundamental physical forces and which proposes a physical symmetry between bosons and fermions.
