The Magic Theorem, a Greatly-Expanded, Much-Abridged Edition of The Symmetries of Things is a unique re-imagining of the classic book The Symmetries of Things, returning to the authors' original vision of a stand-alone elementary introduction to the orbifold signature notation and the theory behind it.
The Magic Theorem features all the material contained in Part I of The Symmetries of Things, redesigned and even more lavishly illustrated, along with new and engaging material suitable for a novice audience, including hands-on symmetry activities for the home or classroom and an online repository of teaching materials.
