Geometry concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.
Geometry originated as a practical science concerned with surveying, measurements, areas, and volumes. • Under Euclid worked from point, line, plane and space. • In Euclid's time… • … there was only one form of space. • Today we distinguish between: • Physical space • Geometrical spaces • Abstract spaces
Symmetry correspondence of distance between various parts of an object Tiling of Hyperbolic Plane
Area of Geometry since before Euclid • Ancient philosophers studied symmetric shapes such as circle, regular polygons, and Platonic solids • Occurs in nature • Incorporated into art • Example M.C. Escher Symmetry
Broader definition as of mid-1800’s Transformation Groups - Symmetric Figures Discrete –topology Continuous – Lie Theory and Riemannian Geometry Projective Geometry - duality Symmetry
Symmetry Operation - a mathematical operation or transformation that results in the same figure as the original figure (or its mirror image) Operations include reflection, rotation, and translation. Symmetry Operation on a figure is defined with respect to a given point (center of symmetry), line (axis of symmetry), or plane (plane of symmetry). Symmetry Group - set of all operations on a given figure that leave the figure unchanged Symmetry Groups of three-dimensional figures are of special interest because of their application in fields such as crystallography. Symmetric Figures Groups
Motion of Figures: Translation Rotation Mirror – vertical and horizontal Glide Symmetry Group
Symmetry of Finite Figures Have no Translation Symmetry Mirror Rotation Reflection by mirror m1 Reflection by mirror m2 Reflection by mirror m3 Do nothing Rotation by turn Rotation by turn

Set: items students wear to school {socks, shoes, watches, shirts, ...} Set: items students wear to school {index, middle, ring, pinky}
Create a set begin by defining a set specify the common characteristic. Examples: • Set of even numbers {..., -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, ...} • Set of odd numbers {..., -3, -1, 1, 3, ...} • Set of prime numbers {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ...} • Positive multiples of 3 that are less than 10 {3, 6, 9}
Null Set or Empty Set Ø or {} Set of piano keys on a guitar.
Set A is {1,2,3} Elements of the set • A • 5 A Two sets are equal if they have precisely the same elements. Example of equal sets A = B Set A: members are the first four positive whole numbers Set B = {4, 2, 1, 3}
Which one of the following sets is infinite? Set of whole numbers less than 10 Set of prime numbers less than 10 Set of integers less than 10 Set of factors of 10 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} is finite = {2, 3, 5, 7} is finite = {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} is infinite since the negative integers go on for ever. = {1, 2, 5, 10} is finite
A is the set of factors of 12.Which one of the following is not a member of A? 3 4 5 6 Answer: 12 = 1×12 12 = 2×6 12 = 3×4A is the set of factors of 12 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}So 5 is not a member of A
X is the set of multiples of 3 Y is the set of multiples of 6Z is the set of multiples of 9Which one of the following is true? (⊂ means "subset") X ⊂ Y X ⊂ Z Z ⊂ Y Z ⊂ X X = {...,-9, -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9,...}Y = {...,-6, 0, 6,...]Z = {...,-9, 0, 9,...}Every member of Y is also a member of X, so Y⊂XEvery member of Z is also a member of X, so Z⊂XTherefore Only answer D is correct
A is the set of factors of 6B is the set of prime factors of 6C is the set of proper factors of 6D is the set of factors of 3Which of the following is true? A is the set of factors of 6 = {1, 2, 3, 6}Only 2 and 3 are prime numbersTherefore B = the set of prime factors of 6 = {2, 3}The proper factors of an integer do not include 1 and the number itselfTherefore C = the set of proper factors of 6 = {2, 3}D is the set of factors of 3 = {1, 3}Therefore sets B and C are equal. Answer C A = B A = C B = C C = D
Rock Set Imagine numbers as sets of rocks. Create a set of 6 rocks. Create Square Patterns
Find the Pattern Form two rows Sort even and odd
Work with a partner Share your rocks. Form the odd numbered sets into even numbered sets. What do you observe? Odd + Odd = Even
Odd numbers can make L-shapes Stack successive L-shapes What shape is formed? when you stack successive L-shapes together, you get a square
