Group Theory In physics: an introduction to symmetry principles, group representations, and special functions in classical and quantum physics / Wu-Ki Tung - New Jersey: World Scientific Publishing, c 2021 - xviii, 344 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

An introductory text book for graduates and advanced undergraduates on group representation theory. It emphasizes group theory's role as the mathematical framework for describing symmetry properties of classical and quantum mechanical systems. Familiarity with basic group concepts and techniques is invaluable in the education of a modern-day physicist. This book emphasizes general features and methods which demonstrate the power of the group-theoretical approach in exposing the systematics of physical systems with associated symmetry.
