    Abstract: Polygons and polyhedron have been studied since the time of the ancient Greeks. Each polyhedron has an associated symmetry group, which gives rise to the notion of reflections. We will explore this approach, starting with real reflections, building up to complex reflections, and ending with quasi-reflections.
