<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>One of the world's leading mathematicians offers an illuminating and engaging look at the newest, most cutting-edge adventure in mathematics and beyond--the search for symmetry. Illustrated.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Symmetry is all around us. Of fundamental significance to the way we interpret the world, this unique, pervasive phenomenon indicates a dynamic relationship between objects. Combining a rich historical narrative with his own personal journey as a mathematician, Marcus du Sautoy takes a unique look into the mathematical mind as he explores deep conjectures about symmetry and brings us face-to-face with the oddball mathematicians, both past and present, who have battled to understand symmetry's elusive qualities.</p>
