The Symmetries of Things has three major sections, subdivided into 26 chapters. [8] The first of the sections discusses the symmetries of geometric objects. It includes both the symmetries of finite objects in two and three dimensions, and two-dimensional infinite structures such as frieze patterns and tessellations, [2] and develops a new notation for these symmetries based on work of ...
Its many exercises make it suitable as a course textbook, [2] [3] and serve both to fill in details from the exposition in the book, and to provide pointers to additional topics. [5] Although some mathematical sophistication is required of its readers, the main prerequisites are discrete mathematics , abstract algebra , and group theory .
