This paper continues the investigation of the groups rf g introduced and studied in i. To illustrate this we will look at two very di erent kinds of symmetries.
Mathematical study of symmetry is called group theory symmetry element a symmetry element is a geometrical entity such as a point, a line or a plane about which a symmetry operation is performed. It is intended to be selfcontained and covers those topics that are needed to follow the main text. Despite this important role in the development of physics, groups existed at the fringe of the physics of the early 20th century.
