Finite Group Representations for the Pure Mathematician
by Peter Webb
Publisher: University of Minnesota 2007
Number of pages: 183
Description:
The book is intended to be used as a learning tool by people who do not know the subject, rather than as an encyclopaedic reference. The book's title is intended to indicate both breadth and limitations: it will probably not be very useful to most physicists or chemists, but it is intended to be appropriate for non-specialists in the area of representation theory, such as those whose primary interest is topology, combinatorics or number theory.

Lectures on Representation Theory and Invariant Theoryby William Crawley-Boevey - University of Leeds
These are lectures on the symmetric group, the general linear group and invariant theory. The course covered as much of the classical theory as time allowed. The text requires some knowledge of rings and modules, character theory, affine varieties.

Introduction to Representations of Real Semisimple Lie Groupsby Matvei Libine - arXiv
These are lecture notes for a one semester introductory course I gave at Indiana University. The goal was to make this exposition as clear and elementary as possible. A particular emphasis is given on examples involving SU(1,1).
