The Magic Theorem: a Greatly-Expanded, Much-Abridged Edition of The Symmetries of Things presents a wonder- fully unique re-imagining of the classic book, The Symmetries of Things. Begun as a standard second edition by the original author team, it changed in scope following the passing of John Conway. This version of the book fulfills the original vision for the project: an 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, now redesigned and even more lavishly illustrated, along with new and engaging material suitable for a novice audience. This new book includes hands-on symmetry activities for the home or classroom and an online repository of teaching materials avaialble at themagictheorem.com

Start with a single shape. Repeat it in some way—translation, reflection over a line, rotation around a point—and you have created symmetry.Symmetry is a fundamental phenomenon in art, science, and nature that has been captured, described, and analyzed using mathematical concepts for a long time. Inspired by the geometric intuition of Bill Thurston and empowered by his own analytical skills, John Conway, with his coauthors, has developed a comprehensive mathematical theory of symmetry that allows the description and classification of symmetries in numerous geometric environments.This richly and compellingly illustrated book addresses the phenomenological, analytical, and mathematical aspects of symmetry on three levels that build on one another and will speak to interested lay people, artists, working mathematicians, and researchers.
