Point symettry is oft called rotational symettry. Things can be rotated x degrees, and the image is the same.
Examples:

THe letters X, I, have point symettry, they can be rotated 180 degrees. They also have plane symettry, later.
here is my favorite point symettry:

Line symmetry:
symmetry about a line http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=Xhh&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&resnum=0&q=line+symmetry&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
plane symettry: same as line, but three dimensional.

90 rotational: a variation of point.

Now usually, these are added together,in clever methods. Here is one clever art-math student

symmetry about a line http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=Xhh&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&resnum=0&q=line+symmetry&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
