By delving into the composition of individual simple symmetries, the book offers insights into the complex world of symmetry for nonspecialist readers. The diverse range of authors and topics encompassed by this volume spans various disciplines across the sciences and arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimple symmetries, such as reflection, rotation, translation, similitude, and a few other recognizable manifestations of the phenomenon, are omnipresent in our daily lives. However, the realm of complex symmetries is vast, composed of a multitude of interwoven simple symmetries. For instance, the iconic helix exemplifies the fusion of translational and rotational symmetry. Nature showcases an incredible variety of such complex symmetries, as does the arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributions in this volume explore selected examples, encompassing a wide range of symmetries. These include physical symmetries, functional symmetries, such as those found in the genetic code construction, symmetries in human perception, including their applications in geometry education and physical theory construction, symmetries in fractal structures and structural morphology, including quasicrystals and fullerenes in stable bindings and their significance in crystallography and architectural design, as well as color symmetries in the arts. The volume concludes with captivating illustrations that provide a visual feast for readers, painting a captivating panorama of this interdisciplinary subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 415g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030880613\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44295240253690,"sku":"9783030880613","price":91.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_7ed2e699-6b5d-4c86-a93f-bed598267ea4.jpg?v=1687522774","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/complex-symmetries-9783030880613","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
