Lecture

Symmetry: Central Symmetry

Description

This lecture covers the concept of central symmetry, which is an isometry fixing a point O and transforming any point P distinct from O into the midpoint of the segment [PS (P)]. It also discusses the properties of central symmetry, such as being its own inverse and transforming lines passing through O. Various examples and constructions are provided to illustrate the theory.
