This text presents a consistent description of the geometric and quaternionic treatment of rotation operators. Covers the fundamentals of symmetries, matrices, and groups and presents a primer on rotations and rotation matrices. Also explores rotations and angular momentum, tensor bases, the bilinear transformation, projective representations, more. Includes problems with solutions. Republication of the Oxford, 1986 edition.
