Lie Algebras In Particle Physics : : from Isospin To Unified Theories / / Howard Georgi.

"Howard Georgi is the co-inventor (with Sheldon Glashow) of the SU(5) theory. This extensively revised and updated edition of his classic text makes the theory of Lie groups accessible to graduate students, while offering a perspective on the way in which knowledge of such groups can provide an...
