Day 26

Math 444, Monday, 11/28

Sponsor Today's class is brought to you by wallpaper patterns.
Topics

More analysis of wallpaper patterns. Why 90-degree rotations form square patterns

Class Schedule
  • More examples of plane symmetries.
  • The main idea: The composition rules and the group property force rotation centers into certain patterns. For 90-degree centers, these patterns are square of 90-degree centers with 180-degree centers in the centers of the squares. See the same Wallpaper Patterns as last week for a good explanation.
