Repeat it in some way—translation, reflection over a line, rotation around a point—and you have created symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Symmetry is a fundamental phenomenon in art, science, and nature that has been captured, described, and analyzed using mathematical concepts for a long time. Inspired by the geometric intuition of Bill Thurston and empowered by his own analytical skills, John Conway, with his coauthors, has developed a comprehensive mathematical theory of symmetry that allows the description and classification of symmetries in numerous geometric environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This richly and compellingly illustrated book addresses the phenomenological, analytical, and mathematical aspects of symmetry on three levels that build on one another and will speak to interested lay people, artists, working mathematicians, and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565470703854,"sku":"9781568812205","price":131.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781568812205.jpg?v=1720679744","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/symmetries-of-things-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
