Stewart, Ian.
Symmetry : a very short introduction Ian Stewart. - First Edition. - Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013. - xii, 144 pages : illustrations ; 18 cm. - Very short introductions ; 353 . - Very short introductions ; 353. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 136-137) and index.
Ian Stewart demonstrates symmetry's deep implications, describing how symmetry's applications range across the entire field of mathematics and how symmetry governs the structure of crystals, innumerable types of pattern formation, and how systems change their state as parameters vary. Symmetry is also highly visual, with applications that include animal markings, locomotion, evolutionary biology, elastic buckling, waves, the shape of the Earth, and the form of galaxies --
