* It may refer to the property of being mathematically symmetrical, especially relating to a correspondence in size, shape, and relative position of parts on opposite sides of a dividing line or median plane or about a center or axis; sometimes the term [[bilateral symmetry]] is used in this context.

* It may refer to an [[isometry|isometric transformation]] or [[rigid body motion]] of a geometric figure, which determines a one-to-one mapping onto itself, and which preserves angles and distances. There are four such kinds of [[isomorphism]]:[[Rotation]]s, [[Reflection]]s, [[Translation]]s and [[Glide-Reflection]]s

* It may also refer to the property of remaining invariant under certain changes (as of orientation in space, of the sign of the electric charge, of parity, or of the direction of time flow) -- used of physical phenomena and of equations describing them.
