Course organization:
The course is given in the form of lectures.

Course content:
Fundamentals of group theory; groups, classes, representations. Applications on quantum mechanical and classical problems; degeneration and selection rules, integrals of motion, modes of vibration and molecular vibrations, point groups and crystal fields.
