Introduction to Representation Theory

Representation theory studies symmetry in linear spaces and this introduction is for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of mathematics who have a solid foundation in linear algebra and at least a smattering of abstract algebra. It covers basic notions, general results, representations of finite groups, quiver representations, categories, homological algebra, and the structure of finite dimensional algebras.
