👉 Pendant math, also known as pendant geometry or pendant group theory, is a branch of abstract algebra that focuses on the symmetries of geometric figures, particularly those defined by piecewise-linear equations. It studies the group of transformations—comprising translations, rotations, reflections, and glide reflections—that preserve these figures, known as pendants. These transformations form a mathematical structure called a pendant group, which captures the intrinsic symmetries of the geometric objects. By analyzing these groups, mathematicians can better understand and classify different types of geometric shapes and their symmetries, providing insights into both pure mathematics and its applications in fields like physics and computer graphics.
