Description for Introduction to Symmetry and Group Theory for Chemists
Hardback. Presents students of introductory physical chemistry the basic principles of symmetry and group theory, and their use in describing and predicting molecular structure and spectra. This book looks at understanding the ideas, and skills in application of the principles, rather than mathematical rigour. Num Pages: 122 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PNRP. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 9. Weight in Grams: 820.
This book is based on a one-semester course for advanced undergraduates specializing in physical chemistry. I am aware that the mathematical training of most science majors is more heavily weighted towards analysis – typ- ally calculus and differential equations – than towards algebra. But it remains my conviction that the basic ideas and applications of group theory are not only vital, but not dif?cult to learn, even though a formal mathematical setting with emphasis on rigor and completeness is not the place where most chemists would feel most comfortable in learning them. The presentation here is short, and limited to ... Read more
