This chapter had alot of information in it that was hard to understand, but with concentration and determination, it became easier. There are many laws that are important to these concepts and they must all be considered to be sure that you have reached teh correct answer. This report was a learning experience and helped me to understand the concepts of transformations and symmetry.
