About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Iachello has written a pedagogical and straightforward presentation of Lie algebras and some applications to bosonic systems encountered in molecular, atomic, nuclear and particle physics. … The book should be of interest to graduate students and researchers in physics, although mathematicians and chemists should find it useful as well. It is a great text to accompany a course on Lie algebras and their physical applications." (Marc de Montigny, Mathematical Reviews, Issue, 2007 i)
"This book … a practical introduction to important facts concerning Lie algebras that continuously appear in physical problems, and written by one of the leading experts in the field. … the book will certainly be of great use for students or specialists that want to refresh their knowledge on Lie algebras applied to physics. … an excellent reference for those interested in acquiring practical experience in the application and techniques of Lie algebras to physics, and leaving the embarrassing theoretical presentations aside." (Rutwig Campoamor-Stursberg, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1156, 2009)
