Opis

Groups and Manifolds is an introduction to the mathematics of symmetry with a variety of examples for physicists. It covers both classical symmetry as seen in crystallography as well as the mathematical concepts used in super-symmetric field theories. After a basic introduction of group theory, Lie algebras and a basic notion of differential geometry are discussed. Group-theoretical constructions are done using Mathematica.

Recenzje

"[...] an excellent book, a very useful addition for any academic library."
Gabriel Eduard Vilcu in: Zentralblatt MATH 1385

"[...] the sheer number of topics covered in this book does give it considerable value as a reference for graduate students (and faculty) in both physics and mathematics." MAA Reviews
