Computer Algebra and Materials Physics A Practical Guidebook to Group Theoretical Computations in Materials Science

This book is intended as an introductory lecture in material physics, in which the modern computational group theory and the electronic structure calculation are in collaboration. The first part explains how to use computer algebra for applications in solid-state simulation, based on the GAP compute...
