	Point groups in three dimensions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In geometry a point group in 3D is an isometry group in three dimensions that leaves the origin fixed, or correspondingly, an isometry group of a sphere.
		It is a subgroup of the orthogonal group O(3), the group of all isometries which leave the origin fixed, or correspondingly, the group of orthogonal matrices.
		, and is the symmetry group of the cube and octahedron.

	Point group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, a point group is a group of geometric symmetries (isometries) leaving a point fixed.
		A discrete point group in 2D is sometimes called a rosette group, and is used to describe the symmetries of an ornament.
		The 3D point groups are heavily used in chemistry, especially to describe the symmetries of a molecule and of orbitals forming covalent bonds, and in this context they are also called molecular point groups.

		This is the automorphism group of the given object and captures its “internal symmetries”.
		In Galois theory, the symmetry groups of field extensions (or equivalently: the symmetry groups of solutions to polynomial equations) are the central object of study; they are called Galois groups.
		All these matrix groups are Lie groups: groups which are differentiable manifolds such that the group operations are smooth maps.

		The rotation group of an object is equal to its full symmetry group iff the object is chiral.
		In the case of multiple mirror planes and/or axes of rotation, two symmetry groups or of the same symmetry type iff there is a single rotation mapping this whole structure of the first symmetry group to that of the second.
		We restrict ourselves to isometry groups where for all points the set of images under the isometries is topologically closed.

	Use of Point Groups
		All molecules in D point groups all have multiple C axes and therefore cannot be polar.
		One of the most practical uses of point groups and group theory for the inorganic chemist in is predicting the number of infrared and Raman bands that may be expected from a molecule.
		It is still pointed along the z-axis, but it does change in magnitude (increasing with the bend).

		In the crystallographic group p1, all the symmetries are translations and the point group is trivial.
		Horizontal arrows between two groups denotes the minimal index in which the group on the left lies as a proper subgroup in the group on the right and vice versa.
		The groups p3m1 and p31m have two lines connecting them since p3m1 is a normal subgroup of index 3 in p31m while p31m is a subgroup of index 3 in p3m1 but it is not a normal subgroup.

	Symmetry Groups
		This has been a primary motivation for developing the branch of mathematics known as "group theory." There are many kinds of symmetry, but the symmetries of rigid bodies are the most important and useful, because they are the most ubiquitous as well as the most obvious.
		Each of the 32 lattice point groups and 230 space groups in three dimensions is generated from a set of three symmetry vectors.
		Euclidean points are given a homogeneous representation that avoids designating one of them as an origin of coordinates and enables direct computation of geometric relations.

	The point groups
		It often seems that the point group associated with the symmetry group of a pattern is the group of symmetries of the motif and that the point group is then a subgroup of the group of symmetries.
		In this case the symmetry group of the motif and the subgroup fixing a point of the lattice are both trivial and so are not the same as the point group.
		The point group is not a subgroup of the symmetry group.

		Thus, the symmetry of the atoms in the unit cell is reflected in the intensities of the diffraction pattern.
		Laue symmetry can be, at least approximately, described by one of the 11 centrosymmetric point groups that result from adding a center of symmetry to each of the 32 crystallographic point groups.
		Associated with each point group is a ‘character table’ which contains information needed to work out all of the properties that depend on the molecular symmetry.

		As the basis for the classification of the symmetry groups G three elements were taken into consideration: the types of symmetries (isometries, similarity symmetries, conformal symmetries) that occur in G, the space on which the group G acts, and the sequence of maximal included proper subspaces, invariant with respect to the group G.
		A lattice is the orbit of a point with respect to a discrete group of translations.
		In isometry groups all distances between points under the effect of symmetries remain unchanged and the congruence of homologous figures is preserved.

	Development:Groups documentation for module developers - MoodleDocs
		The main changes is that there may be a different set of groups being used for each instance of you module in the course and that separate/visible groups have been replaced by a better system of permissions.
		From a student's point of view, groups are generally used as a way to enable parallel versions of the same activity with different groups of students e.g you might want a separate forum or wiki for each group.
		Then when displaying calendar entries to users, need to know which groups a particular has view permission for across all courses though it's a tiny bit more complicated that this because a grouping can be used for more than one course and someone may be a student on one course and a teacher on another.

	Group Theory
		Group Theory is one of the most powerful mathematical tools used in Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy.
		Each of these Symmetry Operations is associated with a Symmetry Element which is a point, a line, or a plane about which the operation is performed such that the molecule's orientation and position before and after the operation are indistinguishable.
		The key to applying Group Theory is to be able to identify the "Point Group" of the molecule i.e.

	Lecture 2: Point Symmetry in 2- and 3-D
		Every crystal has one of these 32 point groups as its underlying structure - if the crystal is able to form unhindered, its outward morphology (shape) should be identifiable as belonging to one of these 32 classes.
		These 32 point groups are also known as the 32 crystal classes which have been grouped in Table 2.2 into 6 crystal systems based on the major or special rotational rotation axis.
		In the 3rd lecture we completed the overview of three dimensional point symmetries by covering rotoinversion, combinations of rotations and the addition of perpendicular mirrors to many of the preceeding point groups.

	Crystallographic Topology - Cubic Groups
		The 36 cubic crystallographic space groups are different from the remaining 194 space groups in that they each have body diagonal 3-fold axes arising from their tetrahedral and octahedral point groups.

		The divider strip between the cubic and rhombohedral groups gives the point groups for all the groups involved in each column, with the cubic/orthorhombic (or tetragonal) to the left and the rhombohedral/monoclinic (or triclinic) to the right.

		The point group symmetry operations applied to a motif can be deduced from the external symmetry of a (perfect) crystal.
		A combination of the point group symmetry operations leads to 32 point groups.
		Thus these symmetry elements involving translations are also referred to as internal symmetry elements, in contrast to the externally observable point group operations (point groups or Crystal Classes).
