Teaching Aims
To demonstrate the importance and practical utility of point and space
groups in crystallography.
Level
This is suitable for the later years of undergraduate courses and for
introductory courses at post-graduate level.
Background
Some acquaintance with the basic principles of symmetry and with the
manipulation of vectors is necessary.
Practical Resources
No specific practical resources are required; the booklet contains exercises
and gives references to other texts.
Time Required for Teaching
A really satisfactory assimilation of this material would involve between 4
and 8 hours of teaching and discussion depending on the previous knowledge
