Viele Studenten haben Schwierigkeiten mit der Mathematik, die den Symmetriebetrachtungen zugrunde liegt - der Gruppentheorie. Bei der Lösung dieser Probleme hilft der hier verfolgte Ansatz des \"programmierten Lernens\": Sorgfältig erarbeitete, geschickt kommentierte Übungen führen Schritt für Schritt von Symmetrieelement und Charaktertafel bis zur Berechnung von Molekülschwingungen.
