Symmetry is utilized as a basic concept through which many aspects of the scientific and artistic worlds can be better understood and appreciated. We begin by illustrating pleasing patterns in the sciences and in the arts; this leads to a general definition of symmetry. We then characterize symmetry using elementary mathematical notions. Next we go on to see examples of symmetry in art and in architecture as well as in poetry and in music. Finally, we display the existence of symmetry in chemistry, biology, physics, and cosmology. A brief excursion into asymmetry ends the course; here, we will see the significance of a lack of symmetry for some of the areas mentioned above.
