The course deals with basic Group Theory ands its application to problems in atomic physics, molecular physics, solid state physics, and particle physics.

The topics of the course are covered by lecture notes called Group Theory written by Prof. Ferdi Aryasetiawn but also by the text book Symmetry in Physics, Vols. I and II, by J.P. Elliot and P.G. Dawber. Topics covered are:

The course gives 5 academic points at the fourth year of the the undergraduate physics education at Lund University. The course may also be counted as a 5p graduate course. (5p means 5 weeks of full time studies). The course is given as self-studies plus one lecture per week. In addition a number of Assignments shall be completed in the duration of the course.

Examination of the course will be in the form a set of rather laborious problems to be solved and handed in for correction at the end of the course.
