520 |a These magnificent lectures grew out of a Harvard physics course first taught by John Van Vleck (1977 Nobel Prize) then continued by Sheldon Glashow (1979 Nobel Prize) and Sidney Coleman, and now by Howard Georgi, the author of this book. Students will find that the book enables them to apply the theory of Lie Algebras and their representations to a wide variety of problems in particle physics and quantum mechanics. This is a key technique for researchers engaged in finding the unified theories that will unite the four forces of nature: electromagnetic, gravitational, weak, and strong nuclear forces--that is, the so-called "theories of everything." 
520 8 |a While retaining the style of the original, this new edition has been dramatically expanded and improved, with clearer explanations and many new applications and problems. The discussion of finite group theory and representations of the permutation group has been dramatically expanded into a self-contained introduction to this huge and beautiful subject. Among the other new topics treated are Dynkin indices, spontaneous symmetry breaking, lepton number as a fourth color, and the 27-dimensional representation of E(6)
