DESCRIPTION:The walls of the Alhambra in Grenada are covered in a cascade 
 of different colours and shapes. But through the mathematician's glasses t
 here are only 17 different symmetries possible on the palace walls. What d
 oes it mean for two totally different images to have identical symmetries?
  Mathematics is full of different ways of looking at the world where seemi
 ngly different objects become identical under the mathematicians microscop
 e. Equations too represent a dialogue between the right and left hand side
  of the equals side where the mathematics magically transforms one idea in
 to an often seemingly unrelated idea. Yet the logical proof behind the equ
 ation reveals an identity between the two concepts.
