Symmetry Discovered: Concepts and Applications in Nature and Science (Dover Books on Mathematics) by Joe Rosen (PDF)

Description

Symmetry provides an insight into the way nature works and is often used by scientists and technologists to help solve problems. Symmetry has numerous other applications as well — with more being discovered all the time in science, the arts and other fields of human endeavor.This classic work provides an excellent introduction to the basic concepts and terminology (including, optionally, group theory), as well as lucid discussions of geometric symmetry, other symmetries and appropriate symmetry, symmetry in nature, uses of symmetry in science and much more.Readers wishing to pursue specific topics will find many references that reflect the author’s wide reading in the subject and his own obvious enthusiasm. For this edition, Dr. Rosen has provided a new preface, solutions to the problems, and an addendum to the bibliography.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a very slim book which could be a first introduction to symmetry. It has a good introduction to group theory, which is the principal branch of mathematics that deals with the topics needed to understand symmetry, and it covers some types of symmetries usually neglected, like color symmetry. It’s not at a very high level, which is good if you’re starting off, but not if you already have a good dose of the necessary material. In other words, this is an introductory book and will not satisfy you if you are looking for a more advanced text, but I recommend it as a first book.

⭐No other book like it. Every math and science student should read this book by their junior year in college.

⭐When it was first published in 1975, this book filled a gap in the literature. It still does. Simple and unassuming, it is the best introduction to symmetry that I ever read. A perfect introduction to the two subsequent books by Rosen himself, and to more advanced treatises, like Weyl’s.

⭐Para quem quer uma introdução teórica não muito aprofundada sobre simetria, é um bom livro. Porém não é acessível a pessoas com pouca base matemática.
