Euclidean plane isometry — In geometry, a Euclidean plane isometry is an isometry of the Euclidean plane, or more informally, a way of transforming the plane that preserves geometrical properties such as length. There are four types: translations, rotations, reflections,… … Wikipedia
Plane symmetry — means a symmetry of a pattern in the Euclidean plane; that is, a transformation of the plane that carries any directioned lines to lines and preserves many different distances. If one has a pattern in the plane, the set of plane symmetries that… … Wikipedia
Euclidean space — Every point in three dimensional Euclidean space is determined by three coordinates. In mathematics, Euclidean space is the Euclidean plane and three dimensional space of Euclidean geometry, as well as the generalizations of these notions to… … Wikipedia
Euclidean geometry — geometry based upon the postulates of Euclid, esp. the postulate that only one line may be drawn through a given point parallel to a given line. [1860 65] * * * Study of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids based on Euclid s axioms. Its… … Universalium
Euclidean group — In mathematics, the Euclidean group E ( n ), sometimes called ISO( n ) or similar, is the symmetry group of n dimensional Euclidean space. Its elements, the isometries associated with the Euclidean metric, are called Euclidean moves.These groups… … Wikipedia
Plane (geometry) — Two intersecting planes in three dimensional space In mathematics, a plane is a flat, two dimensional surface. A plane is the two dimensional analogue of a point (zero dimensions), a line (one dimension) and a space (three dimensions). Planes can … Wikipedia
Plane curve — In mathematics, a plane curve is a curve in a Euclidean plane (cf. space curve). The most frequently studied cases are smooth plane curves (including piecewise smooth plane curves), and algebraic plane curves. A smooth plane curve is a curve in a … Wikipedia
Plane geometry — In mathematics, plane geometry may mean:*geometry of a plane, *geometry of the Euclidean plane,or sometimes a plane is any flat surface that extends without end in all directions.*geometry of a projective plane, most commonly the real projective… … Wikipedia
