Condensed matter physics (liquid state & solid state physics); Physical chemistry; Crystallography

This introduction to tensor properties of crystals is written from a physical rather than mathematical approach and includes a section on modern applications. It requires a knowledge of vectors but not of quantum mechanics or solid state physics. Extensive use of diagrams, worked examples and problems with answers help to provide a textbook of condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, materials science, optoelectronics, electronic engineering and geophysics.
