Abstract
A geometric development of the matrix forms of Hooke’s law for the anisotropic symmetries employing only planes of mirror or reflective symmetry is presented. The forms of the elasticity tensor obtained are almost the same as those that appear in the form of six-by-six matrices in the classic works of Voigt [1] or Love [2]. The differences are those noted by Federov [3]. In this brief presentation only the machinery for these calculations, and not the calculations themselves, are presented.
