Problems and Solutions in Group Theory for Physicists by Zhong-Qi Ma and Zio-Yan Gu

This book is aimed at graduate students in physics who are studying group theory and its application to physics. It contains a short explanation of the fundamental knowledge and method, and the fundamental exercises for the method, as well as some important conclusions in group theory. The book has been designed as a supplement to the author's textbook Group Theory for Physicists, also published by World Scientific. Together these two books can be used in a course on group theory for first-year graduate students in physics, especially theoretical physics. They are also suitable for some graduate students in theoretical chemistry.

ma And Gu, Both Affiliated With The Institute Of High Energy Physics In China, Explain Fundamentals Of Group Theory. A Beginning Chapter Reviews Linear Algebra, And Subsequent Chapters Cover The Concepts Of A Group And Its Subsets, The Theory Of Representations Of A Group, And Three-dimensional Rotation Groups. The Remainder Of The Book Is Devoted To Properties Of Some Important Symmetry Groups Of Physical Systems. Numerous Exercises And Solutions Are Included. The Book Is Aimed At Graduate Students In Physics Who Are Studying Group Theory And Its Application To Physics. It Is Also Suitable For Graduate Students In Theoretical Chemistry.
