Descrizione del libro

In this 1980 book the concept of symmetry or invariance is employed as a unifying theme in the properties and interactions of the elementary particles. Using an explanation of mathematical formalism and with applications to particular cases, the authors introduce the symmetry schemes which dominate the world of the particle physicist.
