BOOK
Transformation Geometry: An Introduction to Symmetry
Part of the Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series, this book offers a rigorous introduction to geometry through the study of isometries and transformations. Rather than focusing on classical synthetic proofs, Martin uses group theory to explore the symmetries of the plane, including reflections, rotations, translations, and glide-reflections. It covers sophisticated topics such as the classification of frieze groups and wallpaper groups, providing a mathematical foundation for understanding patterns found in art, architecture, and nature.
