Affine involution

In Euclidean geometry, of special interest are involutions which are linear or affine transformations over the Euclidean space Rn.

Architecture

Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings or any other structures.

Asymmetry

Asymmetry is the absence of, or a violation of, symmetry (the property of an object being invariant to a transformation, such as reflection).

Axiality (geometry)

In the geometry of the Euclidean plane, axiality is a measure of how much axial symmetry a shape has.

Bilateria

The Bilateria or bilaterians, or triploblasts, are animals with bilateral symmetry, i.e., they have a head (anterior) and a tail (posterior) as well as a back (dorsal) and a belly (ventral); therefore they also have a left side and a right side.

Fundamental domain

Given a topological space and a group acting on it, the images of a single point under the group action form an orbit of the action.

Group (mathematics)

In mathematics, a group is an algebraic structure consisting of a set of elements equipped with an operation that combines any two elements to form a third element and that satisfies four conditions called the group axioms, namely closure, associativity, identity and invertibility.
