- Summary:
- Nice little text derived from a course taught in recent years to advanced undergraduate students of physics at Imperial College, London. Treats only the basics of groups, vector spaces and group representations, but those it treats with unsurpassed clarity. Examples (many drawn from quantum mechanical applications) and exercises punctuate the text at frequent intervals; additional problems (and their solutions) take up the final quarter of the book, which is made attractive not least by its unintimidating size and clean typography.
