Group Theory and Physics by S. Sternberg (PDF)

Description

This textbook, based on courses taught at Harvard University, is an introduction to group theory and its application to physics. The physical applications are considered as the mathematical theory is developed so that the presentation is unusually cohesive and well-motivated. Many modern topics are dealt with, and there is much discussion of the group SU(n) and its representations. This is of great significance in elementary particle physics. Applications to solid state physics are also considered. This stimulating account will prove to be an essential resource for senior undergraduate students and their teachers.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐A masterpiece

⭐Unbeatable introduction to both group theory and stunning applications. Some effort for some calculations, but accompanying prose is a joy.

⭐This book is an excellent introduction to the use of group theory in physics, especially in crystallography, special relativity and particle physics. Perhaps most importantly, Sternberg includes a highly accessible introduction to representation theory near the beginning of the book. All together, this book is an excellent place to get started in learning to use groups and representations in physics.

⭐this book is terribly written

⭐Not very helpful. The materials are incredibly dense. The book skips a lot of derivations and is very stingy on explanations.
