Symmetry in Chemistry (Dover Books on Chemistry)

The goal of this 1965 text was to present a nonmathematical treatment of symmetry and its manifestations and applications. The authors describe the technique of stereographic projections for molecule classification. Translations and rotations of molecules and appropriate symmetry operations are explored. Applications of symmetry and simple group theory to the generation of group orbitals are discussed. The final chapter is devoted to crystal symmetry.
