Abstract
In this chapter, matrix notation is used to describe transformations of symmetry operations. Some important invariants, especially the metric tensor, are discussed and, as an example, the structures of low and high cristobalite are compared. This chapter is also available as HTML from the International Tables Online site hosted by the IUCr.
