What Is Symmetry?

Another math article!

What Is Symmetry?

Reflective symmetry

It would have meant a lot to learn about a topic like this as a kid. That different kinds of symmetry had symbols associated with them was news to me as a college senior in chemical engineering.

It's a shame that the great diversity in 3-D patterns is rarely talked about outside of crystallography. What amazing sculptures are we missing out on by not exploring the topic more deeply in art?
