Symmetry Discovered: Concepts and Applications in Nature and Science 3 reviews Joe Rosen
Dover Publications, 1997
A classic in symmetry
+ Brief, but nice + An easily understood beginner's manual.
When it was first published in 1975, this book filled a gap in the literature. It still does. Simple and unassuming, it is the best introduction to symmetry that I ever read. A perfect introduction to the two subsequent books by Rosen himself, and to more advanced treatises, like Weyl's.
