DESCRIPTION:
Mathematics. The text on the subject - read it and work through the examples and you'll go far in life.. "a good text" according to Knight W. Fu. I must admit, my progress through this book can be measured in lines. It's not that it's confusing, but that it's pretty dense. The proofs are structured in such a way as to leave teasing amount of details to the reader, and the text measures understanding as much as the exercises. It is that which makes reading this book worthwhile.From an academic point of view, the material . There is a lot here for such a short book Dr. Lee D. Carlson This book is a pretty good introduction to the theory of Lie algebras and their representations, and its importance cannot be overstated, due to the myriads of applications of Lie algebras to physics, engineering, and computer graphics. The subject can be abstract, and may at first seem to have minimal applicability to beginners, but after one gets accustomed to thinking in ter
