Description
This book, an abridgment of Volumes I and II of the highly respected Group Theory in Physics, presents a carefully constructed
introduction to group theory and its applications in physics. The book provides anintroduction to and description of the most important
basic ideas and the role that they play in physical problems. The clearly written text contains many pertinent examples that illustrate
the topics, even for those with no background in group theory.
This work presents important mathematical developments to theoretical
physicists in a form that is easy to comprehend and appreciate. Finite groups, Lie groups, Lie algebras, semi-simple Lie algebras, crystallographic
point groups and crystallographic space groups, electronic energy bands in solids, atomic physics, symmetry schemes for fundamental particles,
and quantum mechanics are all covered in this compact new edition.
Audience
Senior undergraduates and graduate students in physics as well as post-doctoral students.
