Group theory is a key part of undergraduate chemistry, and this accessible introduction, written for the full range of chemistry students, covers the essential material. It includes separate sections on molecular symmetry, the mathematics of groups, and applications in chemistry, each presented in a workbook format so that students can compare their answers with model solutions. The book also includes numerous diagrams and will prove a valuable supplement for an array of courses in chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental science.

Designed for first year university students studying chemistry, and students taking physical chemistry as part of their degree course, this workbook is comprised of eight main sections covering revision of key elements. There are some 68 examples and 139 exercises through which students' ability and confidence with tackling quantitative calculations will be developed, beginning with material based on pre-university knowledge through to topics such as chemical equilibrium that are featured in first year university courses. The important equations are collected together at the end of each...
