What Stands Out
Engaging Narrative
Combines personal anecdotes with mathematical exploration, making complex concepts accessible and enjoyable for readers of all backgrounds.
Focus on Symmetry
Delivers an insightful perspective on symmetry in mathematics, intertwining it with real-world applications, thus enriching the understanding of this fundamental concept.
Broad Audience Appeal
Designed for both mathematics enthusiasts and casual readers, the book bridges the gap between rigorous math theory and captivating storytelling.
Product Details
- This new book from the author of 'The Music of the Primes' combines a personal insight into the mind of a working mathematician with the story of one of the biggest adventures in mathematics: the search for symmetry.This is the story of how humankind has come to its understanding of the bizarre world of symmetry – a subject of fundamental significance to the way we interpret the world around us.Our eyes and minds are drawn to symmetrical objects, from the sphere to the swastika, the pyramid to the pentagon. Symmetry indicates a dynamic relationship or connection between objects, and it is all-pervasive: in chemistry and physics the concept of symmetry explains the structure of crystals or the theory of fundamental particles; in evolutionary biology, the natural world exploits symmetry in the fight for survival; symmetry and the breaking of symmetry are central to ideas in art, architecture and music; the mathematics of symmetry is even exploited in industry, for example to find efficient ways to store more music on a CD or to keep your mobile phone conversation from cracking up through interference.Marcus du Sautoy constantly strives to push his own boundaries to find ways in which to share the excitement of mathematics with a broader audience; this book charts his own personal quest to master one of the most innate and intangible concepts, and to demonstrate the intricacy and beauty of the world around us.
