Description
Group Theory is one of the most powerful mathematical tools used in Chemistry. It allows the user to predict, interpret, rationalize, and often simplify complex theory and data. At its heart is the fact that the Set of Operations associated with the Symmetry Elements of a molecule constitute a mathematical set called a Group. This allows the application of the mathematical theorems associated with such groups to the Symmetry Operations.

The Third Edition of Symmetry and Structure: Readable Group Theory for Chemists builds on the foundation of the previous edition, presenting all aspects of group theory relevant to chemists. By using a diagrammatical approach and demonstrating the physical principles involved in understanding group theory, the book provides a non-mathematical, yet thorough, treatment of this important topic.
