Symmetry in Science An Introduction to the General Theory By: Joseph Rosen Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9780387943756, 0387943757 eText ISBN: 9781461225065, 146122506X Copyright year: 1995 Format: PDF Available from $ 44.99 USD SKU: 9781461225065 Symmetry plays an essential role in science - not only in crystallography and quantum theory, where its role has long been explicitly recognized, but also in condensed-matter physics, thermodynamics, chemistry, biology, and others. This text discusses the concept of symmetry and its application to many areas of science. While it includes a detailed introduction to the theory of groups, which forms the mathematical apparatus for describing symmetries, it also includes a much more general discussion of the nature of symmetry and its role in science. Many problems serve to sharpen the reader's understanding, and an extensive bibliography concludes the book.
