<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Die Symmetrie der Moleküle gehört zu den Grundpfeilern der modernen Chemie. Viele Studenten haben Schwierigkeiten mit der Mathematik, die den Symmetriebetrachtungen zugrunde liegt - der Gruppentheorie. Bei der Lösung dieser Probleme hilft der hier verfolgte Ansatz des programmierten Lernens: Sorgfältig erarbeitete, geschickt kommentierte Übungen führen Schritt für Schritt von Symmetrieelement und Charaktertafel bis zur Berechnung von Molekülschwingungen. Besonders geeignet für das gezielte Selbststudium! (10/00)<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>The new edition of this best-selling textbook addresses the difficulties that can arise with the mathematics that underpins the study of symmetry, and acknowledges that group theory can be a complex concept for students to grasp. Molecular Symmetry and Group Theory is based around a series of programmes that help students learn at their own pace and enable them to understand the subject fully. Readers are taken through a series of carefully constructed exercises, designed to simplify the mathematics and give them a full understanding of how this relates to the chemistry. The second edition has been revised and expanded and includes a new chapter on the projection operator method. This is used to calculate the form of the normal modes of vibration of a molecule and the normalised wave functions of hybrid orbitals or molecular orbitals.<br /> Features: <br /> * A concise, gentle introduction to symmetry and group theory<br /> * Takes a programmed learning approach<br /> * New material on projection operators, and the calculation of normal modes of vibration and normalised wave functions of orbitals.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>the best introduction to the subject, especially for those whose mathematics is weak.
