We have Weyl, Pauli, Dirac and Cartan to thank for our modern theory of groups in physics. This book published in 1937 has none of the later Lie algebra representations of the Cartan generalization of groups and thus, like Weyl's similar book may deceive the reader into thinking he understands when he has only a rough and not very even introduction to these groups. This book doesn't reach much higher than SU(2), SO(3) and the Dirac U(1)*SU(2)*SU(2). The standard model of physics deals with the symmetry breaking of SU(5) ( the Cartan A_4 group) to U(1)*SU(2)*SU(3). The Lie algebras and irreducible Cartan representations of such higher symmetries will demand the student read further than this text. So this book is an historical introduction that gives the starting basis for the mathematics needed by modern students in physics and chemistry.
