What is particularly astonishing about the Red Square, the researchers say, is the degree of symmetry seen in lines, or "rungs," that bisect its surface. The rungs appear as shadows, and their ...

Here we show in differently sized familiar square enclosures that the axes of the grids are offset from the walls by an angle that minimizes symmetry with the borders of the environment.

Symmetry attracts us. Studies comparing people’s reactions to different faces have shown, for example, that they find highly symmetrical faces more attractive than less symmetrical faces. The ...

Revise how to identify the y-intercept, turning point and axis of symmetry of a quadratic function. BBC Bitesize Scotland revision for SQA National 5 Maths.

And a circle has infinite axes of symmetry. All very neat. But for most people the sine wave isn’t beautiful, it’s dull. Stravinsky said its empty purity was like a castration threat.
