hich are nicely embedded in the text so that they connect smoothly with the larger conceptual exposition… An Introduction to Tensors and Group Theory for Physicists, written during Jeevanjee’s graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, is a masterpiece of exposition and explanation that would win credit for even a seasoned author. One can only hope that, after this prodigious first book, he will write many more.”



—Physics Today





"Jeevanjee’s An Introduction to Tensors and Group Theory for Physicists is a valuable piece of work on several counts, including its express pedagogical service rendered to fledgling physicists and the fact that it does indeed give pure mathematicians a way to come to terms with what physicists are saying with the same words we use, but with an ostensibly different meaning: it’s the same meat and potatoes, really, but the flavoring is all different.

Oh yes, one more thing. The book is very easy to read, very user-friendly, full of examples...and exercises, and will do the job the author wants it to do with style. I am indeed going to use it myself, hopefully to great advantage, in my upcoming dealings with my working-group."

“The book is divided into two distinct parts, the first one (Chapters 1-3) dealing with linear algebra and tensors, the second focusing on group theory in physics (Chapter 4-6). … provide a solid background for students, helping them to understand the more advanced literature on the subject without formal difficulties. … this book not only fills a considerable pedagogical gap in the physical and mathematical literature, but also shows to what extent the material arises naturally within any consistent model of natural phenomena.” (Rutwig Campoamor-Stursberg, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 i)
