Told here for the first time in accessible prose it is a story that involves brilliant yet tragic characters curious number 'coincidences that led to breakthroughs in the mathematics of symmetry and strange crystals that reach into many dimensions. And it is a story that is not yet over for we have yet to understand the deep significance of the Monster - and its tantalizing hints of connections with the physical structure of spacetime. Once we understand the full nature of the Monster we may well have revealed a whole new and deeper understanding of the nature of our Universe.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Symmetry And The Monster One Of The Greatest Quests Of Mathematics\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Ronan Mark (Professor Of Mathematics At The University Of Illinois At Chicago And Visiting Professor Of Mathematics At University College London)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780192807236\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 264 Pages, Line Drawings \u0026amp; 12 Halftones\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/4\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Popular Science","brand":"Ronan Mark (Professor Of Mathematics At The University Of Illinois At Chicago And Visiting Professor Of Mathematics At University College London)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49591826383153,"sku":"IN-G-9780192807236","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780192807236.jpg?v=1753220927","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780192807236-symmetry-and-the-monster-one-of-the-greatest-quests-of-mathematics","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
