Representations of Finite and Compact Groups (Graduate Studies in Mathematics ; V. 10)
"Contains a very good explanation of representation theory of finite and compact groups and can be recommended to everyone for learning or teaching representation theory." --Zentralblatt fr Mathematik"This book closes a gap that impeded instruction in the principles of the theory of group representations in the past ... it would also tend to close the gap between the interested student of the subject and the advanced researcher keen on bare facts ... a most readable account of a subject of enduring fascination." --Monatshefte fr Mathematik"This is indeed a nice book ... I would recommend it precisely for the graduate course [that] I am teaching now, "Representation Theory" ... I very much like the hands-on approach and the very explicit formulae that are given ... Professor Simon has done an excellent job on this beautiful material."-- Tudor Ratiu, University of California --Tudor Ratiu, University of California, Santa CruzCan be recommended as a base for courses about representations of  finite groups and finite-dimensional representations of Lie  groups.  --Mathematical Reviews
