Introduction to Groups, Invariants and Particles
by Frank W. K. Firk
Publisher: Orange Grove Texts Plus 2000
ISBN/ASIN: 1616100427
ISBN-13: 9781616100421
Number of pages: 162
Description:
The book places the subject matter in its historical context with discussions of Galois groups, algebraic invariants, Lie groups and differential equations, presented at a level that is not the standard fare for students majoring in the Physical Sciences. A sound mathematical basis is thereby provided for the study of special unitary groups and their applications to Particle Physics.

Lectures on Topics In The Theory of Infinite Groupsby B.H. Neumann - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
As the title suggests, the aim was not a systematic treatment of infinite groups. Instead the author tried to present some of the methods and results that are new and look promising, and that have not yet found their way into the books.
