Symmetry is a classic study of symmetry in mathematics, the sciences,
nature, and art from one of the twentieth century's greatest
mathematicians. Hermann Weyl explores the concept of symmetry
beginning with the idea that it represents a harmony of proportions,
and gradually departs to examine its more abstract varieties and
manifestations—as bilateral, translatory, rotational, ornamental,
and crystallographic. Weyl investigates the general abstract
mathematical idea underlying all these special forms, using a wealth
of illustrations as support. Symmetry is a work of seminal relevance
that explores the great variety of applications and importance of
symmetry.
