Reviews'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.

SynopsisThis 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 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.
