Imagine a giant snowflake in 196884 dimensions This is the story of a mathematical quest that began two hundred years ago in revolutionary France led to the biggest collaboration ever between mathematicians across the world & revealed the ' Monster'
- not monstrous at all but a structure of exquisite beauty & complexity Told here for the first time in accessible prose it is a story that involves brilliant yet tragic characters curious number 'coincidences' that led to breakthroughs in the mathematics of symmetry & strange crystals that reach into many

Dimensions & it is a story that is not yet over for we have yet to understand the deep significance of the Monster
- & its tantalizing hints of connections with the physical structure of spacetime Once we understand the full nature of the Monster we may well have revealed a whole new & deeper understanding of the nature of our Universe

In the 1800s mathematicians introduced a formal theory of symmetry group theory Now a branch of abstract algebra this subject first arose in the theory of equations Symmetry is an immensely important concept in mathematics & throughout the sciences & its applications range across the entire subject Symmetry governs the structure of crystals innumerable types of pattern formation how systems change their state as parameters vary; & fundamental physics is governed by symmetries in the laws of nature It is highly visual with applications that include animal markings locomotion evolutionary biology elastic buckling waves the shape of the Earth & the form of galaxies In this Very Short Introduction Ian Stewart demonstrates its deep implications & shows how it plays a major role in the current search to unify relativity & quantum theory ABOUT THE SERIES The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable ...
