This course covers the principles and applications of stereographic projections and their application to the cubic system.
Through lectures and exercise problems, the course enables students to understand the basic concepts of crystallography.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the concept of lattice and the general rules of lattice directions and planes.
2) Acquire the ability to handle stereographic projections of the cubic system.

Attendance is taken in every class.
Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.
