Crystal Structure
Atoms are arranged in a periodic pattern in a crystal.
The atomic arrangement affects the macroscopic properties of a
material.
Crystals are relatively easy to model.
Many important materials (silicon, steel) are crystals

Symmetries can be represented by matrices.
All such matrices that bring the crystal into
itself form the group of the crystal.
