Representations and Characters of Groups (Cambridge Mathematical Textbooks)

This book provides a modern introduction to the representation theory of finite groups. The theory is developed in terms of modules, since this is appropriate for more advanced work, but considerable emphasis is placed upon constructing characters. This will be suitable as a text for those teaching a course in representation theory, and in view of the applications of the subject, will be of interest to chemists and physicists as well as mathematicians.Gordon Douglas James is the author of 'Representations and Characters of Groups (Cambridge Mathematical Textbooks)', published 1993 under ISBN 9780521440240 and ISBN 0521440246.
