Symmetry Hermann Weyl

Symmetry is a classic study of symmetry in mathematics, the sciences, nature, and art from one of the twentieth century's greatest mathematicians. Hermann Weyl explores the concept of symmetry beginning with the idea that it represents a harmony of proportions, and gradually departs to examine its more abstract varieties and manifestations―as bilateral, translatory, rotational, ornamental, and crystallographic.

Defines symmetry through a discussion of its many uses in a wide variety of fields both academic and natural.
