Description
Representation Theory of Finite Groups: An Introductory Approach
This textbook provides an accessible introduction to group representation theory, focusing on discrete Fourier Analysis and avoiding advanced topics such as module theory and Wedderburn theory. It is designed for undergraduate students and beginning graduate students, with the aim of keeping the required background at a level equivalent to linear algebra, group theory, and basic ring theory.
The book includes applications to graph spectral theory and features numerous exercises to help students appreciate the usefulness of the subject. It can be used as a course text for 3rd/4th year undergraduate courses or introductory graduate courses on group representation theory, making it a valuable resource for mathematics and statistics professionals alike.
