| 提要文摘: | This book is posed of two parts:Part I (Chaps. I through 3) is an introduction to tensors and their physical applications, and Part II (Chaps. 4 through 6) introduces group theory and intertwines it with the earlier material. Both parts are written at the advanced-undergraduate/beginning graduate level, although in the course of' Part II the sophistication level rises somewhat. Though the two parts differ somewhat in flavor,l have aimed in both to fill a (perceived) gap in the literaiure by connectingthe ponent formalisms prevalent in physics calculations to the abstract but more conceptual formulations found in the math literature. |
