A fascination with symmetric forms seems to be an innate feature of human perception and for millennia it has influenced art and natural philosophy. The concept of symmetry is one of the very few on which mathematicians and physicists agree, namely that Symmetry ≡ Groups. We describe some special symmetries and related problems including symmetric polynomials and monstrous moonshine.
