Books like Symmetry and the Monster by Mark Ronan


Mark Ronan traces the development of group theory and symmetry, from the tragic contributions of Évariste Galois to the discovery of the Monster group, a colossal symmetrical object in 196,884 dimensions. The book outlines how this mathematical curiosity has linked symmetry with string theory and fundamental aspects of the universe.

The symmetries of things by 6625699|John Horton Conway book cover

📘 The symmetries of things
 by John Horton Conway

"Symmetry is a fundamental phenomenon in art, science, and nature that has been captured, described, and analyzed using mathematical concepts for a long time. Inspired by the geometric intuition of Bill Thurston and empowered by his own analytical skills, John Conway, together with his coauthors, has developed a comprehensive mathematical theory of symmetry that allows the description and classification of symmetries in numerous geometric environments. This richly and compellingly illustrated book addresses the phenomenological, analytical, and mathematical aspects of symmetry on three levels that build on one another and will speak to interested lay people, artists, working mathematicians, and researchers."--Jacket.
