Description
Exploring the concept of symmetry in mathematics, science, nature, and art, Hermann Weyl examines how it represents a harmony of proportions. This study delves into the abstract mathematical idea underlying various forms of symmetry, including bilateral, translatory, rotational, ornamental, and crystallographic.
Weyl's work investigates the significance of symmetry in its many applications, using a wealth of illustrations to support his arguments. A seminal exploration of this fundamental concept, Symmetry offers insight into its importance across diverse fields.
Published in 2016, this paperback edition features 168 pages and is part of Princeton University Press's collection of mathematics titles.
