A. Zee is professor of physics at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His books include "Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell", "Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell", and "Fearful Symmetry: The Search for Beauty in Modern Physics" (all Princeton).
Although group theory is a mathematical subject, it is indispensable to many areas of modern theoretical physics, from atomic physics to condensed matter physics, particle physics to string theory. In particular, it is essential for an understanding of the fundamental forces. Yet until now, what has been missing is a modern, accessible, and self-contained textbook on the subject written especially for physicists.
Group Theory in a Nutshell for Physicists fills this gap, providing a user-friendly and classroom-tested text that focuses on those aspects of group theory physicists most need to know. From the basic intuitive notion of a group, A. Zee takes readers all the way up to how theories based on gauge groups could unify three of the four fundamental forces. He also includes a concise review of the linear algebra needed for group theory, making the book ideal for self-study.

群论,从大一那个暑假开始,就一直在我心头萦绕着。每到夏天最酷热那几天我都会回忆起在杭州的第一个暑假,每天去玉泉校区上群论的讨论班,下午坐在没有空调的寝室汗流浃背地冥思苦想。只不过当时我物理学的还不多,对真正的数学又初识,现在剩下的也只是模模糊糊的一团,或是...

第四章快看完了,就打算看到第六章Cartan classification那边,之后的留着在看hhh总的来讲感受非常好,看他用一些简单的物理的方式证明一些定理非常爽

评分对点群、空间群、磁群……的关注太少
评分没有cover任何ring,field之类的结构,if you are math-inclined person, find another textbook.
评分#洛伦兹群内容较少,其他部分很清晰
