The concept of reciprocal space is over 100 years old, and has been of particular use by crystallographers in order to understand the patterns of spots when x-rays are diffracted by crystals. In this book, the author starts with the crystallographer's point of view of real and reciprocal space and then proceeds to develop this in a form suitable for physics applications.
