This is in a series produced for the International Encyclopedia of Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics. Topic 1 is Mathematical Techniques, and this is volume 3 in that topic area. It begins with acknowledging that the 'operational principles underlying the construction of symmetrical patterns were certainly known to the Egyptians, and whizzes forward to the 20th C and takes off. Maths features strongly. Black cloth-covered boards with inset green panels and gilt writing, in good to very good condition. Binding good. Top page edges a little brown with evidence of light foxing. Endpapers generally clean; front has a name in blue ink. Text appears clean (and content very impressive to those outside this specialist field).
