Representation Theory of Finite Groups and Associative Algebras

This classic book remains a remarkably complete introduction to various aspects of the representation theory of finite groups. One of its main advantages is that the authors went far beyond the standard topic of elementary representation theory, including a masterly treatment of such topics as general non-commutative algebras, Frobenius algebras, representations over non-algebraically closed fields and fields of non-zero characteristic, and integral representations. All these, and many other, subjects are treated extremely thoroughly, starting with basic definitions and results, and proceeding to many important and crucial developments. Numerous examples and exercises help the reader of this largely unsurpassed book to master this important subject.
