Introduction to Representation Theory
by Pavel Etingof, at al.
Publisher: MIT 2009
Number of pages: 99
Description:
Very roughly speaking, representation theory studies symmetry in linear spaces. It is a beautiful mathematical subject which has many applications, ranging from number theory and combinatorics to geometry, probability theory, quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.
