[DOWNLOAD] Transformation Groups for Beginners (Student Mathematical Library, Vol. 25) (STUDENT MATHEMATICAL LIBRARY, V. 25) by S. V. Duzhin ~ eBook PDF Kindle ePub Free

The notion of symmetry is important in many disciplines, including physics, art, and music. The modern mathematical way of treating symmetry is through transformation groups. This book offers an easy introduction to these ideas for the relative novice, such as undergraduates in mathematics oreven advanced undergraduates in physics and chemistry. The first two chapters provide a warm-up to the material with, for example, a discussion of algebraic operations on the points in the plane and rigid motions in the Euclidean plane. The notions of a transformation group and of an abstract groupare then introduced. Group actions, orbits, and invariants are covered in the next chapter. The final chapter gives an elementary exposition of the basic ideas of Sophus Lie about symmetries of differential equations. Throughout the text, examples are drawn from many different areas of mathematics.Plenty of figures are included, and many exercises with hints and solutions will help readers master the material.
