Groups and symmetries [electronic resource] : from finite groups to Lie groups / Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach ; translated by Stephanie Frank Singer.

Unlike many other texts, this book deals with the theory of representations of finite groups, compact groups, linear Lie groups and their Lie algebras, concisely and in one volume. Key Topics: Brisk review of the basic definitions of group theory, with examples Representation theory of finite groups...
