Description for Representation Theory of Finite Groups: An Introductory Approach
Paperback.
This book is intended to present group representation theory at a level accessible to mature undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. This is achieved by mainly keeping the required background to the level of undergraduate linear algebra, group theory and very basic ring theory. Module theory and Wedderburn theory, as well as tensor products, are deliberately avoided. Instead, we take an approach based on discrete Fourier Analysis. Applications to the spectral theory of graphs are given to help the student appreciate the usefulness of the subject. A number of exercises are included. This book is intended for a 3rd/4th undergraduate ... Read more

Reviews for Representation Theory of Finite Groups: An Introductory Approach
From the reviews: “The aim of the author is to give an introductory text on (ordinary) representation theory of finite groups which is accessible for advanced undergraduates already. And Steinberg manages this outstandingly well. … a book which is ideally suited for beginners in math as well as physicists, engineers and so on, who need a concise, well conceived ... Read more
