Tetrahedral symmetry

A regular tetrahedron has 12 rotational (or orientation-preserving) symmetries, and a symmetry order of 24 including transformations that combine a reflection and a rotation. The group of all (not necessarily orientation preserving) symmetries is isomorphic to the group S4, the symmetric group of permutations of four objects, since there is exactly one such symmetry for each permutation of the vertices of the tetrahedron. The set of orientation-preserving symmetries forms a group referred to as the alternating subgroup A4 of S4. (Wikipedia).

How to construct a Tetrahedron

How the greeks constructed the first platonic solid: the regular tetrahedron. Source: Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 13. In geometry, a tetrahedron also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners. Th

Teach Astronomy - Symmetry

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ A lot of fundamental concepts in physics are based on the idea of symmetry. Symmetry is familiar to us in an aesthetic sense. It often means things that have pleasing proportion, or look the same from every direction, or have a harmonious nature about them.

Canonical structures inside the Platonic solids I | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 49 | NJ Wildberger

Each of the Platonic solids contains somewhat surprising addition structures that shed light on the symmetries of the object. Here we look at the tetrahedron, and investigate a remarkable three-fold symmetry which is contained inside the obvious four-fold symmetry of the object. We connect

Rhombofoam in Zome – Scott Vorthmann

Rhombofoam is a pattern that fills 3D space in all the ways that a golden rhombohedron does, while forming dodecahedral and 16-sided cells that have the topology of foam: three cells around each edge, and four around each vertex. The result is a foam model that has the symmetries of a quas
