Prof. McClain has indeed produced "a new kind of tutorial book." It is written using the logic engine Mathematica, which permits concrete exploration and development of every concept involved in Symmetry Theory. The book may be read in your hand, or on a computer screen with Mathematica running behind it. It is intended for students of chemistry and molecular physics who need to know mathematical group theory and its applications, either for their own research or for understanding the language and concepts of their field.
Subject: Physics and Astronomy, Group theory, Point group, analysis of flexible molecules, applied group theory, character table, group theory for molecules, interactive examples using mathematica, mathematical exercises in physics, molecule, permutation groups, symmetry theory with mathematica, Particle and Nuclear Physics, Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics, Group Theory and Generalizations, Physical Chemistry, Atomic, Molecular Structure and Spectra
