Full Description
This volume presents a selection of research papers published over the last three decades in the Symmetry journal. It is edited in honor of Gyuri Darvas, the founder, and former editor-in-chief of the journal, commemorating his thirty years of service to the journal and the symmetry community.The contributions are written by authorities in their field and give a multifaceted view into the interdisciplinary theme of symmetry, a discipline that attracts experts from the arts, philosophy, and science.The community of the International Symmetry Association has long waited for a summary and selection from the writings of the most commemorated researchers of the field. This volume fulfills this wish and will appeal to a wide readership from artists and architects through philosophers and historians of science to scientists in various disciplines.
