Group Theory Books: Learn Group Theory Basics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the need for resources to understand group theory in the context of supersymmetry. A recommendation is made to start with Wu Ki Tung's book on group theory, which is suitable for foundational knowledge. Additionally, the second chapter of Steven Weinberg's first volume on quantum field theory (QFT) is highlighted as essential for a deeper understanding of the topic.

Hello,

I was reading these notes on supersymmetry, and in the appendix (which as he says is just to establish his conventions), talks about a lot of group theory and stuff that I don't know. Can someone please recommend a book/lecture notes where I can learn this?

Try first Wu Ki Tung's book on group theory, then for a little bit more the second chapter from Weinberg's first volume on QFT is a must.
