These lectures review the recently developed vector coherent state
method. The book is an excellent introduction to the field because
of the many examples treated in detail, in particular those from
nuclear and particle physics. These calculations will be welcomed
by researchers and graduate students. The author reviews the
concepts of coherent states of the Heisenberg algebra and shows
then that the vector coherent state method maps the higher symmetry
algebra into an n-dimensional harmonic oscillator algebra coupled
with a simple intrinsic symmetry algebra. The formulation involves
some vector (or analogous higher symmetry) coupling of the
intrinsic algebra with the n-dimensional oscillator algebra,
leading to matrix representations and Wigner coefficients of the
higher symmetry algebra expressed in terms of simple calculable
functions and recoupling coefficients for the simpler intrinsic
algebra.
