Symmetry and the Standard Model

From the reviews: "Symmetry and the Standard Model is the first volume of a planned series of at least four volumes 'intended to teach math to physicists.' The book applies basic group theory to quantum field theory, including the standard model of particle physics. The intended audience is upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students ... . As a textbook, it is probably best suited for an elective course for math and physics majors ... . Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals." (M. C. Ogilvie, Choice, Vol. 49 (7), March, 2012) "A remarkable collection and collaborative effort to convey to an inquisitive mind most of what is required today to acquire an understanding and appreciate the salient facets of the exciting subject of particle physics as well as the involved intricate mathematics. ... an excellent example of many experts working together to finally come out with an exemplary book of immense use. ... will be most useful helping the scholars to quickly achieve progress of study and research in a unique area of intellectual endeavor." (Paninjukunnath Achuthan, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1233, 2012)
