But sometimes the solutions are not as interesting as the beautiful symmetric patterns that lead to them. Written in a friendly style for a general audience, \u003ci\u003eFearless Symmetry\u003c\/i\u003e is the first popular math book to discuss these elegant and mysterious patterns and the ingenious techniques mathematicians use to uncover them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hidden symmetries were first discovered nearly two hundred years ago by French mathematician  variste Galois. They have been used extensively in the oldest and largest branch of mathematics--number theory--for such diverse applications as acoustics, radar, and codes and ciphers. They have also been employed in the study of Fibonacci numbers and to attack well-known problems such as Fermat's Last Theorem, Pythagorean Triples, and the ever-elusive Riemann Hypothesis. Mathematicians are still devising techniques for teasing out these mysterious patterns, and their uses are limited only by the imagination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first popular book to address representation theory and reciprocity laws, \u003ci\u003eFearless Symmetry\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on how mathematicians solve equations and prove theorems. It discusses rules of math and why they are just as important as those in any games one might play. The book starts with basic properties of integers and permutations and reaches current research in number theory. Along the way, it takes delightful historical and philosophical digressions. Required reading for all math buffs, the book will appeal to anyone curious about popular mathematics and its myriad contributions to everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3666453\"\u003eAvner Ash\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-9965821\"\u003eRobert Gross\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691138718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691138710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MAT\"\u003eMathematics\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MAT022000\"\u003eNumber Theory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAvner Ash\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of mathematics at Boston College and the coauthor of \u003ci\u003eSmooth Compactification of Locally Symmetric Varieties\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eRobert Gross\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of mathematics at Boston College.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42679859871981,"sku":"9780691138718","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_f9d8e83e-b14c-48ac-909c-0c932420f19a.jpg?v=1649687725","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/fearless-symmetry-exposing-the-hidden-patterns-of-numbers-new-edition-9780691138718","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
