With rigor and clarity, this upper-level undergraduate text employs numerous exercises, solved problems, and figures to introduce upper-level undergraduates to Lie group theory and physical applications. It further illustrates Lie group theory's role in expressing concepts and results from several fields of physics. 1974 edition. Includes 75 figures and 17 tables. Republication of the New York, 1974 edition.
