Description

The book is a good, undergraduate level introduction to crystallography. It describes the basic concepts, like a Bravais lattice, and the 230 space groups. The key idea to grasp is symmetry. And how this can lead to tiling in two or three dimensions. Giving rise to such structures as a body centred cubic or face centred cubic lattice.

The exercises in each chapter should be easy to do. There is relatively little formal maths. The International Notation for these finite groups is also deprecated.
