Geared toward chemists and experimental physicists, this handbook is accessible to undergraduate students. It introduces fundamental concepts with simple examples, relating them to specific chemical and physical problems. The main results of group theory are presented in all sections as procedures, which assists in their systematic and step-by-step application. 1994 edition.
