Synopsis

This book offers a collection of exact graphical methods developed by the author as both time-saving and accurate alternatives to numerical calculations in crystallography. Graphical methods in crystallography have the advantage of being easier to carry out and requiring less specialised knowledge, but have historically been neglected in favour of numerical methods. The author argues that this neglect is unwarranted and presents a compelling case for their use. The methods are presented in a systematic fashion, starting with elementary stereographic projections and progressing to more advanced topics such as the construction of crystal drawings. The book also includes a section on the use of tables to facilitate graphical determinations, and a discussion of the relative merits of graphical and numerical methods. The book is a valuable resource for crystallographers of all levels, from students to experienced researchers, and is an essential addition to any crystallographer's library.
