Reviews

From the reviews: The book contains a wealth of practically relevant examples as well as numerous exercises to allow the reader to gain a working knowledge of advanced symmetry methods. Each chapter concludes with a discussion that provides helpful connections to the journal literature (collected in an extensive list of references). This book is carefully written and provides an excellent overview of this highly active branch of applied mathematics. Like its predecessors, it will be a standard reference in the field for years to come. (Michael Kunzinger, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 d)
