SUMMARY
The Mathematical World Series features well-written, challenging works that capture the fascination and usefulness of mathematics.In most mathematics textbooks, the most exciting part of mathematics - the process of invention and discovery - is completely hidden from the reader. The aim of Groups and Symmetry is to change all that. By means of a series of carefully selected tasks, this book leads readers to discover some real mathematics. There are no formulas to memorize; no procedures to follow. The book is a guide: its job is to start you in the right direction and to bring yo back if you stray too far.Discovery is left to you.Farmer, David W. is the author of 'Groups and Symmetry A Guide to Discovering Mathematics', published 1995 under ISBN 9780821804506 and ISBN 0821804502.
