Symmetry is all around us. Of fundamental significance to the
way we interpret the world, this unique, pervasive phenomenon
indicates a dynamic relationship between objects. Combining a rich
historical narrative with his own personal journey as a
mathematician, Marcus du Sautoy takes a unique look into the
mathematical mind as he explores deep conjectures about symmetry
and brings us face-to-face with the oddball mathematicians, both
past and present, who have battled to understand symmetry's elusive
qualities.
