The Symmetries of Things John H. Conway, Heidi Burgiel, Chaim Goodman-Strauss
Publisher: Taylor & Francis

Meaning symmetry often is one of those things we see but can't quite say. Dec 24, 2013 - It's Christmas Eve now, and I have Christmas Eve-y stuff to do with my husband and preschooler, but the exhaustion is totally worth it, and I must write a review. He called it the eightfold way (he was very good at naming things) and only later realized that there already existed a mathematical language for his method.

Apr 7, 2012 - If there's something I have read quite a few instances, it really is that physicists (and by association astronomers), really like symmetry. Oct 26, 2009 - Mathematicians sometimes (usually) turn things the other way round: They define a group by the properties above, and then observe that the collection of symmetries of an object fits the definition. But defining symmetry in a few words without handwaving sometimes leads only to hand waving. Jun 27, 2013 - (The term was coined by John Conway in his book The Symmetries of Things. (This may have some spoilers, but I'll try to be vague, because I hate spoilers. Dec 10, 2013 - There's a sort of symmetry that is called “chiral”: it's when two things are the mirror of each other (your hands, for example: they're the same, but they're not superimposable). And there is much of symmetry about in the organic planet. Sep 6, 2013 - Symmetry knows symmetry. Aug 18, 2008 - Comment by Dave2: ¶ Gravatar image. May 18, 2007 - With a symmetry, you have a way of transforming things that has no effect on the form of the equations. Nov 6, 2012 - What I mean by a symmetry is this: a way to change the coordinates (t,\,x,\,y,\,z) of spacetime in a way that leaves the laws of physics the same. It's a fun toy to play with from time to time, and there's some things that would be horribly difficult to create manually that's a breeze in Symmetries. Feb 7, 2013 - The Symmetries of Things John H.
