Product Details
From the back cover: “Group Theory and Its Applications in Physics presents a careful introduction to this field. Worked examples, taken from atomic, molecular, and solid-state physics, and exercises with hints and answers encourage self-study. The inclusion of some advanced material will make the book also of interest to professionals.
“This ‘Study Edition’ has been corrected and new exercises have been added.”
