Abstract: Abstract Symmetry might be fearful in a Tiger as William Blake alludes to in his poem, The Tyger, but in mathematics it is wholly a thing of beauty. Symmetry can often be used as a tool to cut a simple, elegant, path through a labyrinth of mathematical obstacles. Abstractly, a mathematical object displays the property of symmetry if it is invariant to parametric change.
