Grupo de simetría

A grupo de simetría, or symmetry group, refers to the set of all movements or transformations—like rotations, reflections, or translations—that can be applied to an object without changing its overall appearance or structure. These transformations follow specific rules, such as combining two symmetries resulting in another within the set, and including doing nothing (the identity). Symmetry groups help us understand and classify patterns, shapes, and structures in mathematics, physics, and art by capturing their inherent balance and regularities.
