β¦ Synopsis
A textbook for an upper-level course, more elementary than most by assuming only a prior exposure to the notions of quotient group and the isomorphism theorems. Also approaches representation theory from the perspective of analysis rather than algebra or geometry, as is usually the case. Covers the representation of finite groups of rotations, permutations groups, and classical compact Lie groups.

This book is based on several courses given by the authors since 1966. It introduces the reader to the representation theory of compact Lie groups. We have chosen a geometrical and analytical approach since we feel that this is the easiest way to motivate and establish the theory and to indicate rel
This book is an introduction to the representation theory of compact Lie groups, following Hermann Weyl's original approach. Although the authors discuss all aspects of finite-dimensional Lie theory, the emphasis throughout the book is on the groups themselves. The presentation is consequently more
In this chapter we will study the linear algebra required in representation theory. Some of this will be familiar hut there will also be new material, especially that on 'multilinear' algebra.
