Symmetry groups and their applications

This is a beginning graduate level textbook on applied group theory, treating those aspects useful in the physical sciences, specifically quantum mechanics. The theory is largely algebraic in nature, so proficiency in linear algebra and advanced calculus is required. The book addresses finite or discrete symmetry groups, e.g., point, space, and permutation groups; and Lie groups
