Review MMW

The document discusses the concept of symmetry in mathematics and its relevance in art, design, and architecture, highlighting types such as bilateral and radial symmetry. It also covers patterns in nature, including natural patterns like fractals and spirals, and introduces various pattern types such as rosette and frieze patterns. Each pattern type is characterized by specific symmetries and arrangements, illustrating the organization of information and aesthetics in both natural and human-made objects.

Lesson 1- SYMMETRY Rosette Patterns


- consist of taking motif or an
element and rotating and or reflecting
that element. There are two type of
Rosette Patterns:
1. CYCLIC
-if it only admits rotational
symmetries.
2. DIHEDRAL
-if it admits both rotational and
bilateral symmetries.

Frieze Patterns ( John B. Conway )


- frieze or border pattern.
Apattern in which a basic motif
repeats itself over and over in one
direction.
- It extends to the left and right
in a way that the pattern can be
mapped onto itself by a horizontal
translation.
- found in walls of buildings,
fabrics, borders of rigs and tiled floor.

2. Step

3. Slide
-only admits translation and
vertical reflections
4. Spinning Hop
-only admits translational and
