input: What role did symmetry play in the natural world, as described in the book, and how did it influence the author's understanding of mathematics?

answers: Symmetry in the natural world, such as in the shapes of flowers and animals, served as a language for communication and survival. For instance, bees are attracted to flowers with specific symmetries, which indicate the presence of nectar. This biological use of symmetry resonated with the author's mathematical exploration of symmetry, highlighting its importance in both nature and mathematics.
