Incidence and Symmetry in Design and Architecture

Klappentext
This 1983 text tackles two fundamental mathematical topics: graph theory and the theory of transformation groups.

Zusammenfassung
The initial purposes of this 1983 text were to develop mathematical topics relevant to the study of the incidence and symmetry structures of geometrical objects and to expand the reader's geometric intuition. The two fundamental mathematical topics employed in this endeavor are graph theory and the theory of transformation groups.
