Aquí, el matemático de Oxford, Marcus du Sautoy, ofrece un vistazo a los números invisibles que unen todos los objetos simétricos.

Oxford's newest science ambassador Marcus du Sautoy is also author of The Times' Sexy Maths column. He'll take you footballing with prime numbers, whopping symmetry groups, higher dimensions and other brow-furrowers. Full bio »
