1: Review on Linear Algebras (186k)
This textbook explains the fundamental concepts and
techniques of group theory by making use of language familiar to
physicists. Application methods to physics are emphasized. New
materials drawn from the teaching and research experience of the author
are included. This book can be used by graduate students and young
researchers in physics, especially theoretical physics. It is also
suitable for some graduate students in theoretical chemistry.
