Symmetry Studies: An Introduction to the Analysis of
Experimental data can often be associated with or indexed by certain symmetrically interesting structures or sets of labels that appear,for example,in the study of short symbolic sequences in molecular biology,in preference or voting data,in (corneal) curvature data,and in studies of the handedness and entropy of symbolic sequences and elementary images. The symmetry studies introduced in this book describe the interplay among symmetry transformations that are characteristic of these sets of labels,th
