This book is intended for graduate students in Physics. It starts
with a discussion of angular momentum and rotations in terms of the
orthogonal group in three dimensions and the unitary group in two
dimensions and goes on to deal with these groups in any dimensions.
All representations of su(2) are obtained and the Wigner-Eckart
theorem is discussed. Casimir operators for the orthogonal and
unitary groups are discussed. The exceptional group G2 is
introduced as the group of automorphisms of octonions. The
symmetric group is used to deal with representations of the unitary
groups and the reduction of their Kronecker products. Following the
presentation of Cartan's classification of semisimple algebras
Dynkin diagrams are described. The book concludes with space-time
groups - the Lorentz, Poincare and Liouville groups - and a
derivation of the energy levels of the non-relativistic hydrogen
atom in n space dimensions.
