This lecture introduces the concept of crystal symmetry and point groups, covering topics such as the elements of symmetry, crystal classes compatible with lattice, axial crystal classes, and the relationship between point groups and translation groups. It also discusses the description of crystals using faces, crystal systems, and Bravais lattices. The lecture delves into the classification of crystal classes, space groups, and equivalent positions within crystals.
