Hi, I'm very new on Group Theory, and lacking of easy to understand document on it.

I can't get Representation of SO(3) Groups.

Is there anyone can tell me useful information about it?

Thanks,
Tore Han

SO(3) is ONE group.. not groups.

Here you have some basic info about SO(3) (rotations)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO(3 )

I can give you this link, but there is not some much about matrix lie groups in it, but I found it very useful for learning basics of groups at least.

I have not used this source so much yet, but it looks quite good:

If you want to study group theory for quantum mechanics such as angular mometa etc, I recommend "Modern Quantum Mechanics" by sakurai, chapter 3 and 4
