Group Theory Basics: Where Can I Learn More?

Click For Summary
Group Theory is gaining interest among learners due to its widespread applications, particularly in physics and mathematics. Recommended resources for beginners include "Groups and Symmetry" by M.A. Armstrong, "An Introduction to the Theory of Groups" by J. Rotman, and Schaum's Outline of Group Theory, which is noted for its solved examples. There is a suggestion for a collaborative workshop to explore classical groups like SO(3) and SU(2), focusing on their relevance to physics. Online resources are also available, including a link to a free textbook by Marsden that covers Lie groups. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accessible learning materials and community engagement in mastering Group Theory.
