CS 39R:  Symmetry & Topology
Wall-paper Symmetries


Find  matching pairs with the same symmetries  (rows 1, 2, 3;   columns A, B, C, D, E).

For each pattern make a list of all symmetries found in the linear friezes and in the round hub caps; compare those lists!

A wonderful, "must-have" resource  (from which the above pictures originated):
"The Symmetries of Things" by John H. Conway, Heidi Burgiel and Chaim Goodman-Strauss (A.K.Peters, Wellesley, MA, 2008)
