Book Title: Group Theoretical Methods and Applications to Molecules and Crystals

Author: Shoon Kyung Kim

Selection Statement:

I was inspired by my father's book, Group Theoretical Methods and Applications to Molecules and Crystals, which was published when he was 79, after a long and fruitful research career. This book pioneers a unified way of looking at group theoretical applications to molecules and crystals in a much simpler way by reducing the undue abstract nature of traditional group theory. This book is especially meaningful to me since I've used some of his methods in my own published research work.
