Krátký popis
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 apointless
duel over awoman 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 aprofound puzzle. Finally, Stewart describes the
world beyond superstrings: the octonionic" symmetries that may
explain the very existence of the universe.
