'This is a remarkable book … The author shows how physical considerations lead naturally to mathematical notions and their investigations, and how mathematical achievements influence the development of physics … I can strongly recommend the book.' European Mathematical Society Newsletter, "...it is fitting that physicists be made aware of this book, and I am pleased to recommend its study." Eugene Golowich. American Journal of Physics, 'This excellent book contains an introduction to the theory of abstract groups, Lie groups and their representations combined with applications of this theory in physics ... a cohesive presentation of physics and mathematics.'A. L. Onishchik, Zentralblatt für Mathematik, "A suitable and desirable reference for theoretically (and mathematically) oriented advanced undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and researchers, as well as mathematicians interested in the application of group theory to physics. Recommended." Choice, 'This is a remarkable book ... The author shows how physical considerations lead naturally to mathematical notions and their investigations, and how mathematical achievements influence the development of physics ... I can strongly recommend the book.'European Mathematical Society Newsletter, "Philosophers must thank Professor Sternberg for having written this book. Sternberg gives us an entree to quantum mechanics through the medium of group theory, probably the best such book since Weyl's Group Theory and Quantum Mechanics of 1929....The book contains a wealth of self-contained examples of the applications of group theory, the mathematics of symmetry." Mark Steiner, Philosophia Mathematica, "...I can highly recommend this book to anyone teaching or studying the subject. It could serve as a text in a graduate course if supplemented with exercises and problems." Meinhard Mayer, Physics Today, 'This excellent book contains an introduction to the theory of abstract groups, Lie groups and their representations combined with applications of this theory in physics ... a cohesive presentation of physics and mathematics.' A. L. Onishchik, Zentralblatt für Mathematik, "...the author...has made a valuable contribution to the breaking down of artifical barriers between mathematics and physics." J.E. Humphreys, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, ‘The book is a very good example of a bedside or coffee table book. One can dip into it for fun, keep on reading, and end up learning something useful. I raided it last spring to add spice to my introductory course on ‘Lie Groups’ at Cambridge.’C. B. Thomas, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, "...the subject is well shaped and the exposition is fairly lucid. I consider Sternberg's book a fine adddition to the existing literature and strongly recommend it to anyone with an interest in learning how to use group theoretical methods to understand concrete physical problems." Ivailo M. Mladenov, SIAM Review, 'The book is a very good example of a bedside or coffee table book. One can dip into it for fun, keep on reading, and end up learning something useful.

Synopsis
This textbook, based on courses taught at Harvard University, is a cohesive and well motivated introduction to group theory and its application to physics. Many modern topics are dealt with, making this an essential resource for senior undergraduate students and their teachers in physics and applied mathematics., This book is an introduction to group theory and its application to physics. The author considers the physical applications and develops mathematical theory in a presentation that is unusually cohesive and well-motivated. The book discusses many modern topics including molecular vibrations, homogeneous vector bundles, compact groups and Lie groups, and there is much discussion of the group SU(n) and its representations, which is of great significance in elementary particle physics. The author also considers applications to solid-state physics. This is an essential resource for senior undergraduates and researchers in physics and applied mathematics., This textbook, based on courses taught at Harvard University, is an introduction to group theory and its application to physics. The physical applications are considered as the mathematical theory is developed so that the presentation is unusually cohesive and well-motivated. Many modern topics are dealt with, and there is much discussion of the group SU(n) and its representations. This is of great significance in elementary particle physics. Applications to solid state physics are also considered. This stimulating account will prove to be an essential resource for senior undergraduate students and their teachers.
