Group theoretical methods and applications to molecules and crystals /

"This book explains the basic aspects of symmetry groups as applied to problems in physics and chemistry using an approach pioneered and developed by the author. The symmetry groups and their representations are worked out explicitly, eliminating the unduly abstract nature of group theoretical...
