- (mathematics) an attribute of a shape or relation; exact reflection of form on opposite sides of a dividing line or plane
- Balance among the parts of something
- Isotropy: (physics) the property of being isotropic; having the same value when measured in different directions
- (symmetrical) having similarity in size, shape, and relative position of corresponding parts
- (symmetrical) harmonious: exhibiting equivalence or correspondence among constituents of an entity or between different entities
- Symmetry (from Greek u03C3u03C5u03BCu03BCu03B5u03C4u03C1u03AFu03B1 symmetria "agreement in dimensions, due proportion, arrangement") in everyday language refers to a sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion and balance. In mathematics, "symmetry" has a more precise definition, that an object is invariant to a transformation, such as reflection but including other transforms too...
- Symmetry in biology is the balanced distribution of duplicate body parts or shapes. The body plans of most multicellular organisms exhibit some form of symmetry, either radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry or "spherical symmetry". A small minority exhibit no symmetry (are asymmetric).
- The following is a list of episodes from the USA Network original series The Dead Zone. The series debuted on June 16, 2002.
- Symmetry occurs not only in geometry, but also in other branches of mathematics. It is actually the same as invariance: the property that something does not change under a set of transformations.
