Regular polytopes and their symmetry have a long history. This book, the first to cover modern theory, explores the subject in depth, introducing new techniques and elementary approaches to familiar ideas. It caters for experienced researchers and also for graduate students in discrete and Euclidean geometry, combinatorics and group theory.
