5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to molecular symmetry, 15 Nov 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Molecular Symmetry and Group Theory: Programmed Introduction to Chemical Applications (Paperback)

An excellent introduction to molecular symmetry and group theory for all chemists. The book takes you through the topics by means of continual questions and answers to aid understanding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for those new to symmetry, 1 Aug 2008

By	Mr. K. Sutherland Cash (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is an excellent introduction to the applications of symmetry and group theory in chemistry. The only down side is that there is little treatment of linear combination of atomic orbitals and Huckel techniques, which were integrated into our undergraduate symmetry course. A "hints and tips" section with shortcuts for reducing representations and approaching problems would have also proven valuable.

Simply put, if you're doing an undergraduate chemistry course, get this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must Have, 30 Jan 2008

By	C. Jackson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this book when i was first introduced to symmetry and i'm so glad i found it. Great at explaining what you need to know to pass. The only thing that would make this text better is more self tests.

This book got me through a symmetry and bonding course when the lectures had left me completely confused. Read more
