SYMETRIA KRYŠTÁLOV - Historický vývoj predstáv o symetrii od začiatku XVII. storočia do polovice XX. storočia Autori, ich publikácie a názory

<jats:p>Much effort has been devoted in the past to the description of the symmetry of crystals, i.e., to the description of the relevant set of symmetry operations and methods for their determination. This has led to the development of the theory of crystal symmetry. This text was written with the intention of conveying the development of this theory - from the first scientific experiments already in the XVII. century until its completion in the middle of the XX. century, when this was done by purely mathematical methods. It was sometimes interesting to go back to the past and find out the genesis of crystallographic terms. In this context, it was primarily the thoughts of Fyodorov and Schoenflies, but they also followed on from important predecessors. That's why it was interesting to look deeper into the past, when and where considerations about the laws of crystal symmetry arose.</jats:p>
