Symmetry plays a role not only in crytallography and quantum theory, but also in condensed-matter physics, thermodynamics, chemistry, and biology. This work discusses the concept of symmetry and its application to many areas of science. It also introduces group theory.
Symmetry plays an essential role in science - not only in crystallography and quantum theory, where its role has long been explicitly recognized, but also in condensed-matter physics, thermodynamics, chemistry, biology, and others. This text discusses the concept of symmetry and its application to many areas of science. While it includes a detailed introduction to the theory of groups, which forms the mathematical apparatus for describing symmetries, it also includes a much more general discussion of the nature of symmetry and its role in science. Many problems serve to sharpen the reader's understanding, and an extensive bibliography concludes the book.

Contents: What is Symmetry?- The Mathematics of Symmetry: Group Theory.- Group Theory Continued.- Symmetry: The Formalism.- Applications of Symmetry.- Approximate Symmetry and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking.- Symmetry in Process, Conservation, and Cosmic Considerations.- Symmetry: The Concept.- Symmetry in Science.- More Symmetry in Science.
