Crystallography

The University of Córdoba Publications Service has just published Julieta Mérida García’s book "Simetría y clases cristalinas", which, starting from the concept of symmetry, examines the elements of symmetry without translation, their matrix representation, and the elements and operations involved, before going on to address symmetry groups, their classes and theorems, and concluding with a description of the 32 crystal classes and the tetragonal, orthorhombic, cubic, hexagonal and trigonal, monoclinic and triclinic systems.
