Product Description
A Thorough But Understandable Introduction To Molecular Symmetry And Group Theory As Applied To Chemical Problems! In a friendly, easy-to-understand style, this new book invites the reader to discover by example the power of symmetry arguments for understanding theoretical problems in chemistry. The author shows the evolution of ideas and demonstrates the centrality of symmetry and group theory to a complete understanding of the theory of structure and bonding. Plus, the book offers explicit demonstrations of the most effective techniques for applying group theory to chemical problems, including the tabular method of reducing representations and the use of group-subgroup relationships for dealing with infinite-order groups. Also Available From Wiley:

* Basic Inorganic Chemistry, 3/E, by F. Albert Cotton, Paul Gaus, and Geoffrey Wilkinson 0-471-50532-3

this small book on symmetry and group theory is easy to understand and packed with examples. it is a small book (only about 300 pages) but everything in it is relevant and to the point. the writing is easy to grasp and the back includes character tables for all the common symmetry groups. buy it!

The strength of this book is its many examples. Carter takes the concepts and applies them to simple inorganic or organic compounds. Very helpful to students. The end of chapter problems are nice as well. A great text and one that I would recommend to students as well as faculty.
A much needed breath of fresh air! July 29, 1998

This is a text set apart from the pack. It clearly states what other books attempt to describe. There need to be more texts on the market like this. Dr. Carter has taken a subject that has historically been elusive, and presented it in a comprehensive, READABLE volume. This text is helping me through my thesis in chemistry. It is highly practical, easily read, and heavily referenced, all of the qualities, I believe, that make up an excellent text! Excellent work!
