On the Systems Formed by Points Regularly Distributed on a Plane or in Space (Dover Phoenix Editions Series)

Bravais, inventor of the polar lattice, correctly deduced the fourteen possible varieties of space lattices consistent with the several symmetry classes. This classic nineteenth century work begins with preliminary definitions and advances to discussions of nets in general, symmetrical nets, the general properties of lattices, symmetrical lattices, and polar lattices. 42 figures.
