Abstract
We show that what has previously been considered the "accidental" degeneracy in the energy levels of the -dimensional, isotropic, harmonic oscillator is actually a consequence of its symmetry group. The additional symmetry, beyond the -dimensional rotation group, arises from the symmetry between the coordinates and momenta.
