About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Symmetry Rules is a sophisticated monograph based on the special personal perspective of theoretical physicist Rosen … . The fundamental notion is that nature may be broken into isolated systems, and that nature may be understood as the sum of its parts. … The book includes a detailed presentation of group theory, which lends a distinctive view of nature. … This book belongs in good college libraries. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." (K. L. Schick, CHOICE, Vol. 46 (01), September, 2008)
