All teaching activities will be held in Croatian. However, foreign students in mixed groups will have the opportunity to attend additional office hours with the lecturer and teaching assistants in English to help master the course materials. Additionally, the lecturer will refer foreign students to the corresponding literature in English, as well as give them the possibility of taking the associated exams in English.

Description:
Derivation of point groups and possible crystal forms. Crystallometry (two-circle reflection goniometer), gnomonic, stereographic and parallel-perspective projections. Spherical trigonometry. Bravais lattices and space groups ? principles of derivation. Reciprocal lattice, explanation of X-ray diffraction. Principles of matrix algebra.

Knowledge of main properties of stereographic and gnomonic projection and capability of their drawing;
Capability of crystal indexing by using gnomonic projection;
Knowledge and understanding of point and space group symbols;
Capability of determination of possible crystal forms for all point groups;
Understanding of space group inferring;
Capability of using point group data from International Tables for Crystallography;
Capability of mathematical defining of operations with Euclidian vectors, colinearity, complanarity and coordinates;
Capability of performing operations with Euclidian vectors and checking relations between objects in space using coordinates in general oblique coordinate systems;
Capability of determining order and generators of point group by using stereographic projection of symmetry elements and point in general position;
Capability of interpreting crystallographic concepts (lattice planes, Miller indices and Weiss parameters, zones and forms, symmetry, direct and reciprocal space and lattice, point and space groups) in mathematical way;
