Notes:
The book aims, first to present a precise but also illustrative introduction to the theory of point and space groups and, second, to provide clear examples and exercises for the application of the theory to every-day problems of crystallography with special emphasis on frequently used calculations and formulae. ``To sum up, the present edition can warmly be recommended to all potential users of ITA83... Though subtitled "lecture notes", the book is a thoroughly worked out introduction to major tools of symmetry theory. P. Paufler, Z. fuer Krystallographie, 211 (1996), 590. "The style of the text is similar to that of the five introductory chapters in Volume A itself. Readers who desire a more complete group-theory basis to amplify those chapters will find this new book useful.." M. Kastner, Acta Cryst., A53 (!997), 252. 671.
