    Description

    Group Theory is an indispensable mathematical tool in many branches of physics and chemistry. Providing a detailed account of Group Theory and its applications to chemical physics, the first half of this book focuses on elementary topics, such as molecular and crystal symmetry. The latter, more advanced portion includes proven examples. The book's comprehensive coverage makes it suitable for a two-semester course at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.

    • An introductory and advanced text that comprehensively covers fundamentals and applications of group theory in detail
    • Suitable for a two-semester course with numerous worked examples and problems
    • Includes several topics often omitted from introductory texts, such as rotation group, space groups and spinor bases

    Reviews & endorsements

    “The mathematical development is clear and concise, and examples interspersed throughout clearly illustrate the different principles considered. For practicing chemists or physicists with previous exposure to group theory, this book is indispensable. As a primary resource for special-topics graduate courses, this book would be outstanding.”
