Abstract

After an historical introduction of the concept of symmetry, the many ways in which symmetry is used today in physics are briefly reviewed. A new concept, super-symmetry, introduced in the 1970's is also briefly reviewed, and the only experimental example of supersymmetry in physics presented. The future of symmetry in physics is briefly discussed.
