This class will introduce group theory in the chemical/physical context. In addition to the fundamentals of (practical/applied) group theory, this course will explore how the tools of group theory enable powerful, general statements to be made about the behavior of chemical systems from the atomics scale to the macroscale, often without requiring detailed calculations or knowledge of most microscopic details. It is particularly targeted at upper level chemistry and physics undergraduates who have a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and a brief familiarity with linear algebra.
