Book Reviews of Group Theory and Chemistry (Dover Books on Chemistry)
Book Review: A very good book
Summary: 4 Stars
I really wish I had this book when it first came out!
The table on page 46 is of great use.
The coverage in the books goes well with my own experience and Cottom's book on Inorganic Chemistry.
My one very basic bone to pick is from my long ( 40 or more years) work involving group theory. Neither Cartan groups or Coxeter are mentioned or their relationship to these point groups. The Federov space groups used in crystallography are also ignored. The result is to make western Chemistry students second class in world education( ignorant of basics in the Mathematics of groups). I can't blame this on Bishop as he is only following Dr. Cotton's lead. I read a recent cosmology book in which a very well educated American physics Ph.D. shows a basic ignorance of Federov space groups. None of the editors caught it and it is in print ...
Russians everywhere must be laughing.
I think that we have to integrate the mathematical approach to group theory
with the Chemical-Physical approach, so that instead of rote use of
formulas, understanding is involved.
