What are some good resources on symmetry?

98 Views Asked by At

I find symmetry very appealing so I would politely ask you for some of the best resources (books, courses, articles, etc.) you know on this topic.

I would also dare to pose a challenge for the most intuitive explanation of some complex practical case symmetry is addressing.

I'm not that well versed with the subject, so anything is welcomed. I also hope this post will remain a future reference for all the people interested in this subject.

Symmetry by Hermann Weyl is considered a classic. Weyl considers symmetry in nature and art as well as in mathematics.
