This volume is a collection of essays on complex symmetries. It is
curated, emphasizing the analysis of the symmetries, not the
various phenomena that display those symmetries themselves. With
this, the volume provides insight to nonspecialist readers into how
individual simple symmetries constitute complex symmetry. The
authors and the topics cover many different disciplines in various
sciences and arts. Simple symmetries, such as reflection, rotation,
translation, similitude, and a few other simple manifestations of
the phenomenon, are all around, and we are aware of them in our
everyday lives. However, there are myriads of complex symmetries
(composed of a bulk of simple symmetries) as well. For example, the
well-known helix represents the combination of translational and
rotational symmetry. Nature produces a great variety of such
complex symmetries. So do the arts. The contributions in this
volume analyse selected examples (not limited to geometric
symmetries). These include physical symmetries, functional (meaning
not morphological) symmetries, such as symmetries in the
construction of the genetic code, symmetries in human perception
(e.g., in geometry education as well as in constructing physical
theories), symmetries in fractal structures and structural
morphology, including quasicrystal and fullerene structures in
stable bindings and their applications in crystallography and
architectural design, as well as color symmetries in the arts. The
volume is rounded of with beautiful illustrations and presents a
fascinating panorama of this interdisciplinary topic.
