چکیده
This article appeared originially (in French) in the magazine Pour la Science, no. 292, Feb. 2002. It was submitted to the article competition of the EMS Raising Public Awareness Comittee by the journal’s director Philippe Boulanger and was given a runner-up award, cf. issue 50 of the Newsletter. The Newsletter thanks Alain Connes and Philippe Boulanger for the permission to republish the article. The concept of symmetry goes well beyond that of simple geometric symmetries. From the fair organisation of the final stages of soccer competitions to the solving of equations, via the icosahedral game and Morley’s theorem, we’ll discover the multiple aspects of this concept.
