Abstract: |
The Concept of Symmetry - as old as mankind itself - exists everywhere in the natural and human-made environment. This chapter presents perceptions of the concept of symmetry from antiquity to the present day, as well as a series of examples of its applications in nature, art, technology, culture, and the physical sciences. The dual meaning of the concept of symmetry is analyzed from ancient Greece to the present day. Examples are given from human civilization, where the existence of symmetry is evident, as well as examples of applications of symmetry in nature, art, technology, and the physical sciences. Finally, some of the scientific fields in which symmetry finds application are mentioned.
