About Group Theory in a Nutshell for Physicists

"Zee's lovely book on the theory of group representations is comprehensive and complete, both from the mathematical and physical points of view. While it doesn't discuss the representations of the symmetric groups, the book's got almost everything on the mathematical side, including roots and weights in the theory of compact Lie groups. The physics applications are mainly from high energy physics but also include some from chemical and condensed matter physics. Clearly written, this book makes an ideal text for a graduate course in physics on the subject."--Barry Simon, California Institute of Technology"This excellent book stands out by its clarity of presentation."--Eugene Demler, Harvard University"This is an ambitious book. Zee brings together a lot of material not easily found in one place."--Savdeep S. Sethi, University of Chicago"Group Theory in a Nutshell for Physicists fills a gap in the market. Zee turns group theory into a less intimidating topic."--Katrin Becker, Texas A&M University
