This book describes the approach to applied group theory that we have developed in the past
twenty-five years and illustrates how this approach, known as the 'Spherical Shell' method,
can be applied to solve a variety of problems that benefit from a group theory analysis. To
complement the theory, the book is supplied with a CDROM, on which interactive files, based
on EXCEL | spreadsheet technology controlled by Visual Basic for Applications [VBA] code,
can be used to perform straightforwardly group-theory analyses for direct application to the
simplification of physical problems in Chemistry, Physics and even Engineering Science.
These powerful calculators are simple to use and do not require a detailed knowledge of
the technicalities of group theory for their application.
