Lectures on Selected Topics in Mathematical Physics: Further Applications of Lie Theory

About the Author Dr William A. Schwalm has been in the Department of Physics and Astrophysics at the University of North Dakota since 1980. His research is in condensed matter theory and application of mathematical methods tophysical problems. He is also the author of Lectures on Selected Topics in Mathematical Physics: Elliptic functions and elliptic integrals, and Lectures on Selected Topics in Mathematical Physics: Introduction to Lie theory with applications. Product Description This book is a sequel to Lectures on Selected Topics in Mathematical Physics: Introduction to Lie theory with applications. This volume is devoted mostly to Lie groups. Lie algebras and generating functions, both for standard special functions and for solution of certain types of physical problems. It is an informal treatment of these topics intended for physics graduate students or others with a physics background wanting a brief and informal introduction to the subjects addressed in a style and vocabulary not completely unfamiliar.
