| Abstract | "The Magic Theorem: a Greatly-Expanded, Much-Abridged Edition of The Symmetries of Things presents a wonderfully unique re-imagining of the classic book, The Symmetries of Things. Begun as a standard second edition by the original author team, it changed in scope following the passing of John Conway. This version of the book fulfils the original vision for the project: an elementary introduction to the orbifold signature notation and the theory behind it. The Magic Theorem features all the material contained in Part I of The Symmetries of Things, now redesigned and even more lavishly illustrated, along with new and engaging material suitable for a novice audience. This new book includes hands-on symmetry activities for the home or classroom and an online repository of teaching materials"-- Provided by publisher. |
