Symmetry

A very good book by a young Mathematician of our Era. Many abstract and difficult concept of symmetry is narrated in a very lucid language. Better than the book of same title published by Cambridge University Press.

The book has much appeal but unfortunately a bit too advanced for me at the moment. I have retired and am looking for stimulating reading but realize I have much catchup to do on subjects such as maths.

There is very little science and mathematics, it's more a historical account of the scientific characters involved in the discoveries and gets into a very tedious narrative. Very deceptive title as it does not make an effort to explain much at all about symmetry and group theory. I have read much better popular accounts of symmetry and the theory. Extremely disappointing!

El libro está bien, por eso le doy tres estrellas, el autor cuenta anécdotas curiosas, resulta entretenido pero su contenido matemático es bastante flojito.

I love this book because it focuses on simmetry groups giving examples of the Alhambra and other great places around the world.This is not an "in-depth" book about simmetry, it is more an informative book, easy to read and very entertaining.

Arrived in good time and good condition. I have just finished reading it and it is a a worthwhile read.
