Hi Everyone,
Back in college i informally learned what i would call point group theory. Most of it never touched on continuous transformations. When I learned it back then it was all pretty straight forward. Recently I have been trying to learn about Lee groups (to understand symmetries in Lagrangians in field theory), however whenever I pick up a book or tutorial its like hitting a wall- it doesn't seem like group theory at all. Does anyone have a good book or tutorial or video to recommend?
I appreciate any input.
thanks
doug
