Representation Theory

See abstract groups come alive through 21 interactive demonstrations. Build character tables, watch symmetries act on vector spaces, construct Young tableaux, and decompose representations into irreducible building blocks.

See also: Group Theory for the abstract groups being represented, Linear Algebra for the vector spaces and matrices that representations live in, and Lie Groups for representations of continuous symmetry groups.
