Groups, Representations and Physics hbk,

By H.F. Jones and Gary Jones

The representation theory of groups is an extremely useful mathematical framework to use when considering the action of symmetry transformations on quantum systems. This book gives you a mathematically rigorous explanation of the theory, but also includes many examples and illustrations of its uses, especially in solid state and molecular physics. Also included is a chapter on gauge groups. There are problems at the end of each chapter; solutions are given. Aimed primarily at final-year physics undergraduates with a good mathematical background, but also useful to first year postgraduates in solid state, atomic or elementary particle physics.
