Course Overview

Chemical Applications Of Symmetry And Group Theory is an online free course that will give you a deep insight into the application of group theory and symmetry. The 8-week-long online courses are free of cost. Yet, Swayam demands a fee for an exam that qualifies you for the certification.

Administered by Swayam, the Chemical Applications Of Symmetry And Group Theory online course will walk you through the application of symmetry in chemical systems within the group theory. Plus, the courses will deal with symmetry operations, symmetry elements, molecular vibrations and many more. The online course is led by a faculty member of IIT Kanpur, Prof. Manabendra Chandra.
