«Al otro lado del espejo» is the mathematics popularisation essay by Joaquín Navarro, published by RBA in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The book explores what symmetry is and why it is a central concept in mathematics and in understanding the world, with examples ranging from Alice's journey through the looking glass to quantum mechanics. Drawing on books, paintings, polyhedral figures and figures such as Galois or Sophus Lie, it shows the connections between symmetry and beauty, based on proportionality and balance, and its role in group theory and contemporary mathematics.
The book belongs to the collection El mundo es matemático.
Recommended for readers interested in scientific popularisation and in mathematics explained from a cultural and accessible perspective.
