Reflection Symmetry - Advanced Types of Reflection Symmetry

Advanced Types of Reflection Symmetry

For more general types of reflection there are correspondingly more general types of reflection symmetry. For example:

  • with respect to a non-isometric affine involution (an oblique reflection in a line, plane, etc.)
  • with respect to circle inversion.

Mirrored symmetry is also found in the design of ancient structures, including Stonehenge.

Famous quotes containing the words advanced, types, reflection and/or symmetry:

    “Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it.... Advanced art today is no longer a cause—it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.”
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)

    “The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
    —Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)

    “Fanny was not there! How she would have enjoyed the scene.... I could not but think of her, and in spite of my efforts to prevent, the unbidden tear would flow. Alas! I cannot feel the satisfaction some appear to do in the reflection that her eyes beheld the scene from the other world.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “What makes a regiment of soldiers a more noble object of view than the same mass of mob? Their arms, their dresses, their banners, and the art and artificial symmetry of their position and movements.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
