	Introduction to Group Characters
	by Walter Ledermann Sales Rank: 1318071	List Price: ~~$48.00~~ $48.00 At Amazon on 10-14-2008

Paperback: 250 pages Publisher: Cambridge University Press; 2 edition July 31, 1987 Language: English ISBN-10: 052133781X ISBN-13: 978-0521337816 Product Dimensions: 8.9 x 5.9 x 0.7 inches Shipping Weight: 12.8 ounces *Product Review* Taken from the hardback review: 'The author introduces group representations with a commendable balance between the abstract approach emphasising modules and the concrete approach emphasising matrices An excellent text!' Mathematical Reviews Taken from the hardback review: ' this little volume contains a clear and, at points, brilliant description of the fundamentals of the theory of group characters' Scientia *Product Description* To an algebraist the theory of group characters presents one of those fascinating situations, where the structure of an abstract system is elucidated by a unique set of numbers inherent in the system. But the subject also has a practical aspect, since group characters have gained importance in several branches of science, in which considerations of symmetry play a decisive part. This is an introductory text, suitable for final-year undergraduates or postgraduate students. The only prerequisites are a standard knowledge of linear algebra and a modest acquaintance with group theory. Especial care has been taken to explain how group characters are computed. The character tables of most of the familiar accessible groups are either constructed in the text or included amongst the exercise, all of which are supplied with solutions. The chapter on permutation groups contains a detailed account of the characters of the symmetric group based on the generating function of Frobenius and on the Schur functions. The exposition has been made self-sufficient by the inclusion of auxiliary material on skew-symmetric polynomials, determinants and symmetric functions.
