Rotational symmetry by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
An object has rotational symmetry when a nontrivial rotation matrix leaves it unchanged.
Rotational symmetry is a property of a shape or object that indicates it can be rotated around a central point by a certain angle and still look the same as it did before the rotation. In other words, if you were to rotate the object about its central point, it would match its original configuration at certain intervals of rotation.
