Groups, Representations and Physics
Editorial Reviews
Review
This work seems to cover virtually all the problems of physics for which group theory is helpful...strikes a good balance between mathematics and physical applications and should be valuable to researchers. It is well printed and produced and the paperback edition is good value.
Aslib Book List
The author has admirably fulfilled his aims. The material is tightly packed and no phrase is wasted...I liked the succinct way in which the subject was developed in this new book. It provides a firm foundation for further reading, especially those parts which the author 'squashed down' in the interest of brevity, and is a welcome addition to my bookshelf.

most group theorists would be astonished by what happens to their pets when a physicists gets his hands on them, as in ^IGroups, Representations and Physics by H F Jones. I'm not suggesting we teach quantum field theory to every algebraist, but they could learn an awful lot from the group-theoretic treatment of the vibrational modes of the water molecule.
