About this topic

Geometry and transformations turn abstract operations into movement, shape, symmetry and structure.

Use the tools here to see structure before formalising it.

Explore this through matrix transformations and invariant directions, complex numbers as rotation and scaling, fourier ideas, waves and decomposing patterns.
