Lorentz Group Reading: Intro & Math/Phys Perspective

[Silviu]

Hello! Can someone recommend me some good reading about Lorentz and Poincare groups. I would like something that starts from introductory notions but treats the matter both from math (proofs and all that) and physics point of view. Thank you

One possibility is "Relativity, Groups, Particles: Special Relativity and Relativistic Symmetry in Field and Particle Physics" by Sexl and Urbantke

Note that the bad review is because of viewing problems with Kindle, not because of content.

A somewhat simpler exposure one can find in the book by Wu Ki Tung on Group Theory. Here, as with other books, you can skip the treatment of finite groups.
Another book - in between at the level of sofistication - is the rare one by Fonda and Ghirardi, but this one lacks in proofs for the fundamental (albeit difficult) group theory results.
