Groups and Manifolds : : Lectures for Physicists with Examples in Mathematica /

Groups and Manifolds : : Lectures for Physicists with Examples in Mathematica / / Pietro Giuseppe Fré, Alexander Fedotov.

Groups and Manifolds is an introductory, yet a complete self-contained course on mathematics of symmetry: group theory and differential geometry of symmetric spaces, with a variety of examples for physicists, touching briefly also on super-symmetric field theories. The core of the course is focused...
