Overall, the book shows how researchers from diverse backgrounds explore connections among the various discrete structures with symmetry as the unifying theme. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributions present recent trends and advances in discrete geometry, particularly in the theory of polytopes. The rapid development of abstract polytope theory has resulted in a rich theory featuring an attractive interplay of methods and tools from discrete geometry, group theory, classical geometry, hyperbolic geometry and topology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume will also be a valuable source as an introduction to the ideas of both combinatorial and geometric rigidity theory and its applications, incorporating the surprising impact of symmetry. It will appeal to students at both the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as postdocs, structural engineers, and chemists. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45275589968023,"sku":"9781493907809","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781493907809.webp?v=1769283376","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rigidity-and-symmetry-9781493907809","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
