Linear representations of finite groups - New York: Springer [c1977] - 170 p - Graduate Texts in Mathematics Vol. 42 .

This book consists of three parts, rather different in level and purpose: The first part was originally written for quantum chemists. It describes the correspondence, due to Frobenius, between linear representations and characĀ­ ters. This is a fundamental result, of constant use in mathematics as well as in quantum chemistry or physics. The second part is a course given in 1966 to second-year students of I'Ecoie Normale. The third part is an introduction to Brauer theory: passage from characteristic 0 to characteristic p (and conversely). --- summary provided by publisher
