A uniform viewpoint is presented based on the structure of binary trees. This includes a systematic method for the evaluation of all 3n-j coefficients and their relationship to cubic graphs. A number of topical subjects that emerge naturally are also developed, such as the algebra of permutation matriceSymmetry (Physics)Combinatorial analysisSymmetry (Physics)Combinatorial analysis.511.6Louck James D44887MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789068503321Applications of unitary symmetry and combinatorics3822321UNINA
