Course Syllabus

Abstract

The title of the course is deliberately copied from the famous book by Hermann Weyl (1939; 1946). The material in the book forms the core of representation theory. For this reason, working through this material is useful for everyone who wants to deal with any problems in representation theory or apply its results. The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the main ideas and results of Weyl's book, as well as to their further development. Of course, along Weyl's book, we will also use other, more modern sources.
