The symmetries of things

Start with a single shape. Repeat it in some way-translation, reflection over a line, rotation around a point-and you have created symmetry. Symmetry is a fundamental phenomenon in art, science, and nature that has been captured, described, and analyzed using mathematical concepts for a long time. I...
