Book Description

To an algebraist the theory of group characters presents one of those fascinating situations, where the structure of an abstract system is elucidated by a unique set of numbers inherent in the system. But the subject also has a practical aspect, since group characters have gained importance in several branches of science, in which considerations of symmetry play a decisive part.

Review

Review of the hardback: 'The author introduces group representations with a commendable balance between the abstract approach emphasising modules and the concrete approach emphasising matrices ...An excellent text!' Mathematical Reviews

Review of the hardback: '... this little volume contains a clear and, at points, brilliant description of the fundamentals of the theory of group characters' Scientia
