Introduction Man and symmetry Symmetrical buildings What a car has to do with symmetry? Symmetry in nature Miscellaneous Summary
We would like to show you that symmetries are around us. They are present in our everyday life. Seldom do we notice them. The story about symmetry starts at our homes which are pervaded by it, although asymmetry is becoming more and more popular.

Symmetry clearly dominates our surroundings. However, what it worth noticing, it does not take exactly measured form but contributes to putting our everyday life in order. We see it at home in objects and appliances used for preparing food etc. Nobody measures flowers and trees with a ruler. It is enough for them to have similar colours and shapes reminding us of various figures. What is symmetry, then? Putting reality in order. Nobody likes to live in a mess and chaos.
