本书特色

this book is composed 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 connecting 　　the component formalisms prevalent in physics calculations to the abstract but more conceptual formulations found in the math literature. my firm beliefis that we need to see tensors and groups in coordinates to get a sense of how they work， but also need an abstract formulation to understand their essential nature and organize our thinking about them.

内容简介

这是一部讲述张量和群论的物理学专业的教程，用直观、严谨的方法介绍张量和群论以及其在理论物理和应用数学的重要性。本书旨在用一种比较独特的框架，揭开张量的神秘面纱，使得读者在经典物理和量子物理的背景理解它。将物理计算中的许多流形公式和数学中的抽象的或者更加概念性公式的联系起来，对张量和群论的的人来说，这项工作是很欢迎的。物理和应用数学专业的高年级本科生和研究生都将受益于本书。读者对象：数学、应用数学以及物理专业的本科生、研究生和相关科研人员。
