Summary:The symmetry of stereoregular polymers enables classification of elementary polymers according to the line groups. Their schemes are presented and the notation, extracting the data relevant for the symmetry considerations of the polymer, is proposed. The advantages of the concept (efficient and precise description of the structure, easy prediction of properties of the polymer, reductions of numerical calculations) are discussed and illustrated by several examples.
