    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    The Magic Theorem: a Greatly-Expanded, Much-Abridged Edition of The Symmetries of Things presents a wonderfully unique re-imagining of the classic book, The Symmetries of Things. Begun as a standard second edition by the original author team, it changed in scope following the passing of John Conway.

    Long description:

    The Magic Theorem, a Greatly-Expanded, Much-Abridged Edition of The Symmetries of Things is a unique re-imagining of the classic book The Symmetries of Things, returning to the authors' original vision of a stand-alone elementary introduction to the orbifold signature notation and the theory behind it.


    The Magic Theorem features all the material contained in Part I of The Symmetries of Things, redesigned and even more lavishly illustrated, along with new and engaging material suitable for a novice audience, including hands-on symmetry activities for the home or classroom and an online repository of teaching materials.
