Produktinformationen zu „An Invitation to Representation Theory / Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series (PDF)“

The subject of representation theory is one of the most connected in mathematics, with applications to group theory, geometry, number theory and combinatorics, as well as physics and chemistry. It can however be daunting for beginners and inaccessible to undergraduates. The symmetric group and its natural action on polynomial spaces provide a rich yet accessible model to study, serving as a prototype for other groups and their representations. This book uses this key example to motivate the subject, developing the notions of groups and group representations concurrently.

With prerequisites limited to a solid grounding in linear algebra, this book can serve as a first introduction to representation theory at the undergraduate level, for instance in a topics class or a reading course. A substantial amount of content is presented in over 250 exercises with complete solutions, making it well-suited for guided study.

Autoren-Porträt von R. Michael Howe

R. Michael Howe spent 20 years in various roles in the music industry and earned a PhD in mathematics at the University of Iowa, becoming a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where he is now Emeritus Professor. As a mathematics professor he has supervised research and independent study projects of scores of undergraduate students, at least a dozen of whom have gone on to earn a PhD in mathematics. He still enjoys playing music and his other hobbies include hiking, mountaineering, kayaking, biking and skiing.
