The Mathematical Study Of Group Theory Was Initiated In

The Early Nineteenth Century By Such Mathematicians As

Gauss, Cauchy, Abel, Hamilton, Galois, Cayley, And Many

Others. However, The Advantages Of Group Theory In

Physics Were Not Recognized Till 1925 When It Was

Applied For Formal Study Of Theoretical Foundations Of

Quantum Mechanics, Atomic Structures And Spectra By,

To Name A Few, H A Bethe, E P Wigner, Etc. It Has Now

Become Indispensable In Several Branches Of Physics

And Physical Chemistry.Dr. Joshi Develops The

Mathematics Of Group Theory And Then Goes On To

Present Its Applications To Quantum Mechanics,

Crystallography, And Solid State Physics. For Proper

Comprehension Of Representation Theory, He Has

Covered Thoroughly Such Diverse But Relevant Topics As

Hilbert Spaces, Function Spaces, Operators, And Direct

Sum And Product Of Matrices. He Often Proceeds From

The Particular To The General So That The Beginning

Student Does Not Have An Impression That Group Theory

Is Merely A Branch Of Abstract Mathematics. Various

Concepts Have Been Explained Consistently By The Use

Of The C4V. Besides, It Contains An Improved And More

General Proof Of The Schurs First Lemma And An

Interpretation Of The Orthogonality Theorem In The

Language Of Vector Spaces (Chapter 3).Throughout The

Text The Author Gives Attention To Details And Avoids

Complicated Notation. This Is A Valuable Book For Senior

Students And Researchers In Physics And Physical

Chemistry. A Thorough Understanding Of The

Methodology And Results Contained In This Book Will

Provide The Reader Sound Theoretical Foundations For

Advanced Study Of Quantum Mechanics, Solid State

Physics And Atomic And Particle Physics To Help

Students A Flow-Chart Explaining Step By Step The

Method Of Determining A Parallel-Running Example

Illustrating The Procedure In Full Details Have Been

Included. An Appendix On Mappings And Functions Has

Also Been Added.

Definition Group g. A set g of elements is called a
“group” if the following four “group axioms” are
satisfied: (a) There exists an operation which associates
with every pair of elements T and T' of g another
element T" of g. This operation is called multipli- cation.
