| adam_text | Symmetry is an instantly familiar idea,
in the general sense in which most
of us use it. But as a formal concept
it is central to mathematics, and its
applications reach across ail the
sciences, underpinning the patterns
of the natural world.
Ian Stewart draws out the roots of the
mathematical study of symmetry in the
algebraic work of Abel and Galois. He
describes how this early work led to
the rise of a new field- -group theory
—
which was found to unite all forms of
geometry. He shows how the concept
of symmetry underlies the sciences:
the
fundamentai
theories of physics
—
relativity and quantum mechanics;
the properties of atomic lattices and
of shells, and animal locomotion. This
Very Short Introduction takes readers to
the mathematical heart of symmetry.
