The author presents group theory through the Sylow Theorems and uses many worked-out examples, including the full subgroup structure of A5. Representations and characters are worked out with numerous character tables plus real and induced characters that lead to the table for S5. The book includes sections that provide the mathematical basis for some of the applications of group theory in spectroscopy and molecular structure. It is also full of exercises that five the reader a sense of the applications to larger projects. |

| Publisher Description: Group representation theory is both elegant and practical, with important applications to quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, crystallography, and other fields in the physical sciences. This book offers an easy-to-follow introduction to the theory of groups and of group characters. Designed as a rapid survey of the subject, it emphasizes examples and applications of the theorems, and avoids many of the longer and more difficult proofs. The text includes sections that provide the mathematical basis for some of the applications of group theory. It also offers numerous exercises, some stressing computation of concrete examples, others stressing development of the theory. |
