Vectors and Tensors in Crystallography
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
". . . heartily recommended to every crystallographer, students of crystallography and other solid-state scientists."--Acta Crystallographica While there are many excellent treatises on crystallography, few of them offer adequate instruction on vector and tensor manipulations in general coordinate systems, and even fewer include the specific examples and applications that crystallographers need. This hardcover graduate-level text is the exception. It offers excellent coverage of vectors and tensors for crystallographers, students of crystallography and solid-state scientists who need proficiency in carrying out calculations in rectilinear coordinate systems. The emphasis is on crystallographic applications, but the methods developed are essential in any problems that pertain to nonorthogonal systems. Unabridged and corrected Dover republication of the edition published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Reading, Mass., 1982. 30 black-and-white illustrations. Preface. Glossary of symbols. Index. Bibliography. Exercises and solutions.
