| Synopsis: |
The Wenner-Gren Foundations hosted an international symposium "Symmetry 2000" on September 13-16 2000. This volume in the Wenner-Gren series details the proceedings of this symposium. This is a multidisciplinary text about the symmetry concept and its applications across the sciences, arts and humanities. It aims to demonstrate the use of the symmetry concept in the most diverse fields and helps envisioning its further applications. The collection of contributions represents and encourages further discussion between different disciplines using the symmetry concept as a linker. Scientists, mathematicians, engineers, sociologists, artists, humanists and educators join forces in this volume to present their disciplines from a common viewpoint: the presence and use of the symmetry concept in the most diverse areas of human endeavour. This multidisciplinary approach helps us to realize the unity of the world around us and to appreciate different fields of human activities. The outcome of the different approaches uncovers enhanced potentials of the symmetry concept in general education and brings the different disciplines, including sciences, closer to the general public. |
