Understanding Single–Crystal X–Ray Crystallography

The first textbook for teaching this method to users with little mathematical background logically presents the theory and fundamentals in an easily comprehensible, self–contained way.
The result is a must–have for advanced undergraduate students, as well as masters and graduate students and other users of single–crystal X–ray crystallography from many various disciplines.
