The Magic Theorem
Back in 2008, Chaim Goodman-Strauss and Heidi Burgel, together with the late John Conway, wrote a book called The Symmetries of Things, which covered a range of topics around mathematical symmetry and the symmetries of geometric objects.
Now the first two authors have a new book, The Magic Theorem, due for publication this week. We spoke to Heidi and Chaim about where this book has come from and what it’s about.
