Reviews
Although the book must be read by anyone thinking about a career in mathematics, others simply interested in learning about the field and how mathematicians think will find it compelling reading., For nonmathematicians, Letters to a Young Mathematician offers wonderful insight into academics.... For mathematicians themselves, Stewart provides first-rate career advice and offers a charming example of how best to talk to the rest of us., Flatland challenged the familiar conception of three dimensions; Flatterland challenges the conception of dimension itself.

Synopsis
An eminent teacher and writer explores an idea both simple and complex, both multidisciplinary and unifying-the story of symmetry, World-famous mathematician Stewart narrates the history of the emergence of a remarkable area of study: symmetry. He also explores the strange numerology of real mathematics, in which particular numbers have unique and unpredictable properties related to symmetry., At the heart of relativity theory, quantum mechanics, string theory, and much of modern cosmology lies one concept: symmetry. In Why Beauty Is Truth , world-famous mathematician Ian Stewart narrates the history of the emergence of this remarkable area of study. Stewart introduces us to such characters as the Renaissance Italian genius, rogue, scholar, and gambler Girolamo Cardano, who stole the modern method of solving cubic equations and published it in the first important book on algebra, and the young revolutionary Evariste Galois, who refashioned the whole of mathematics and founded the field of group theory only to die in a pointless duel over a woman before his work was published. Stewart also explores the strange numerology of real mathematics, in which particular numbers have unique and unpredictable properties related to symmetry. He shows how Wilhelm Killing discovered "Lie groups" with 14, 52, 78, 133, and 248 dimensions-groups whose very existence is a profound puzzle. Finally, Stewart describes the world beyond superstrings: the "octonionic" symmetries that may explain the very existence of the universe.
