SYMMETRY GAMES
Symmetries create patterns
that help us organize our world conceptually.
Symmetric patterns occur in nature, and are invented by artists,
craftspeople, musicians,
choreographers, and mathematicians.
In mathematics, the idea of symmetry gives us a precise way to
think about this subject.
We will talk about plane symmetries, those that take place on a
flat plane,
but the ideas generalize to spatial symmetries too.

Plane symmetry involves moving all points
around the plane
so that their positions relative to each other remain the same, although
their absolute positions
may change. Symmetries preserve distances, angles, sizes, and shapes.
