Anallagmatic

/ˌænəlægˈmætɪk/ adjective

Definition

In mathematics and geometry, describing a transformation or curve that remains unchanged in form when certain operations are applied to it.

Etymology

Kelly Says

An anallagmatic curve is like a magical shape that stays recognizable even when you flip, reflect, or transform it in specific ways—mathematicians love them because they reveal hidden symmetries in space!
