Media Reviews
'The numerous and varied exercises are a particular strength of the book and lead the motivated reader to explore the diverse connections of Lie groups with a wide range of modern physics. … a worthy addition to the literature.' Physics Today
'… provides a very comprehensive introduction to the Lie group theory and its application in physics … very clear and easy to acquire and assimilate by students and young researchers. The numerous problems with which each chapter ends not only illustrate and help for understanding the presented material but also reveal new features and applications. Some new original ideas and results are also contained in the book … The book could also be useful for specialists, who want to refresh their knowledge on Lie group applications to physics. Finally it is recommended to everyone who wishes to enter into this interesting and fascinating field.' Geometry and Symmetry in Physics
