    Study Notes

    Transformations

    • Transforming a geometric figure involves moving its points according to rules, creating a new figure called the image.
    • A transformation establishes a correspondence between the points of the original figure and its image.
    • Rigid transformations preserve the shape and size of the original figure.
    • Non-rigid transformations change the size of the original figure, but not the shape.

    Rigid Transformations (Isometries)

    • Translations move a figure a fixed distance in a specific direction, keeping all points equidistant from their images.
    • A translation vector indicates the distance and direction of the translation.
    • Rotations turn a figure around a fixed center point by a specific angle, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
    • Reflections flip a figure across a line of reflection, producing a mirror image. The line of reflection acts as a perpendicular bisector for segments joining points and their images.
    • Glide reflections combine reflection and translation.

    Non-Rigid Transformations

    • Dilations expand or contract an object without changing its shape or orientation. This includes resizing, contraction, compression, enlargement, or expansion.
    • Shearing "pushes" a side of the original shape while keeping a base fixed. Points move parallel to the fixed side in proportion to their distance from it.

    Patterns and Diagrams

    • Symmetry exists when an object can be divided into identical parts arranged in a specific pattern.
    • Reflectional symmetry (mirror symmetry) occurs when half of an object is a reflection of the other half.
    • Rotational symmetry involves rotating an object around an axis without altering its shape.
    • Translational symmetry shifts a pattern or design from one location to another, maintaining the same orientation.

    Rosette Patterns

    • Rosette patterns are formed by rotating and/or reflecting a motif or element.
    • Cyclic rosette patterns have rotational symmetry around a center point but no mirror lines.
    • Dihedral rosette patterns possess both reflection and rotation symmetry around a center point, with mirror lines passing through the center.

    Frieze Patterns

    • Frieze patterns are repetitive designs on a two-dimensional surface, exhibiting translational symmetry in one direction.
    • John Conway categorized frieze patterns based on their symmetries, using names like "hop," "step," "jump," "slide," "spinning hop," "spinning jump," and "spinning sidle."

    Wallpaper Patterns

    • Wallpaper patterns are repetitive designs covering a plane, exhibiting symmetries in multiple directions.
    • Wallpaper patterns are categorized based on their symmetries.
    • Symmetry group 1 (p1): Only translations, no reflections, glide reflections, or rotations.
    • Symmetry group 2 (p2): Translations and 180° rotations, no reflections or glide reflections.
    • Symmetry group 3 (pm): Reflections parallel to one translation axis and perpendicular to another.
    • Symmetry group 4 (pg): Glide reflections parallel to one translation axis and perpendicular to another.
    • Symmetry group 5 (cm): Reflections and glide reflections with parallel axes.
    • Symmetry group 6 (pmm): Perpendicular axes of reflection, no glide reflections or rotations.
    • Symmetry group 7 (pmg): Reflection and 180° rotations, centers of rotation not on reflection axes.
    • Symmetry group 8 (pgg): Glide reflections with perpendicular axes and 180° rotations, centers of rotation not on reflection axes.
