This book provides a comprehensive study of the symmetry and
geometry of crystals and molecules, starting from first principles.
The pre-knowledge assumed is mathematics and physical science to
about A-level; additional mathematical topics are discussed in
appendices. It is copiously illustrated, including many
stereoviews, with instructions both for stereoviewing and for
constructing a stereoviewer. Problems for each chapter are
provided, with fully worked tutorial solutions. A suite of
associated computer programs has been devised and placed on-line,
for assisting both the study of the text and the solutions of the
problems. The programs are easily executed, and instructions are
provided in the text and on the monitor screen. The applicability
of symmetry in everyday life as well as in science is stressed.
Point groups and space groups are first discussed and derived in a
semi-analytical manner, and later by use of group theory. The basic
principles of group theory are discussed, together with
applications to symmetry, chemical bonding and aspects of
vibrations of molecules and crystals. The book is addressed to
those studying the physical sciences and meeting the subject for
the first time, and it brings the reader to a level of appreciation
for the definitive works produced by the International Union of
Crystallography, such as the International Tables for X-ray
Crystallography, Vol 1 (1965) and the International Tables for
Crystallography, Vol A (2006).
