Abstract
This is the second part of a two-part article whose aim is to familiarise the reader with both the mathematical concept
and an intrinsic idea of symmetry. The first part of the article concentrated on a ‘working definition’ of symmetry and also laid the mathematical base to understand symmetry. It discussed symmetries of figures that can be drawn on a sheet of paper and of a particular type of infinite pattern called a strip pattern or a frieze pattern.
