The crucial significance of symmetry to the development of group theory in the fields of physics and chemistry cannot be overstated and this well-organized volume provides an excellent introduction to the topic.
This text develops the elementary ideas of both group theory and representation theory in a progressive and thorough fashion, leading students to a point from which they can proceed easily to more elaborate applications. The finite groups describing the symmetry of regular polyhedra and of repeating patterns are emphasized, and geometric illustrations of all the main processes appear here- including more than 100 fully worked examples. |
