Product Description
Review
"Mario Livio has done a marvelous job combining the gripping human saga of the lives of two mathematical geniuses who died young with the key mathematical ideas of symmetry and structure. He explains important mathematical concepts with both clarity and precision, making them understandable to every reader. This is one of the best books about mathematics I have ever read."
--Amir D. Aczel, author of "Chance: A Guide to Gambling, Love, the Stock Market, and Just About Everything Else" and "Fermat's Last Theorem: Unlocking the Secret of an Ancient Mathematical Problem"
Product Description
From the author of the bestseller The Golden Ratio comes the story of the 4,000-year-long mathematical quest that uncovered the laws of symmetry in nature and the arts.
