These are notes I made when I was studying the subject 20 years ago. They seem fine considering that I was student then. I believe they can be useful for those who are studying Yang-Mills and other related material.

Thanks, Sam!
 
nice,but looks some tough as it starts with non abelian lie group directly!

Some corrections:
The notes were originally made using Math-Type, then converted to LaTex. This caused some problems with the references to equations numbers. I corrected most of them but missed the followings:

1) on page 7, the sentence before Eq(3.20) should say "using Eq(3.1) and Eq(3.19)"
2) on page 9 the sentence after Eq(3.35) should read "Adding Eq(3.34) to Eq(3.35)".
3) on page 10 again you see a reference to Eq(10), this should changed to Eq(3.1).
4) on page 11 reference to Eq(59) is made. The correct equation number is Eq(4.13).
I think that is all. Please do tell me if you find some more of these.

but how its start?
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
