Features: This book is a selected course textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of the Department of Mathematics at Nankai University, covering the finite-dimensional representations of finite groups. The content includes: basic concepts, character theory of group representations, representations of point groups, group algebras and representations of symmetric groups, real and complex representations of finite groups, applications of finite group representations in group theory, and modular representations of finite groups, etc. The book strives to combine abstract theory with concrete examples, algebra with geometry, text with graphics, and depth with clarity. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics departments of universities and colleges, as well as a reference for relevant teachers and researchers. The content includes: basic concepts, character theory of group representations, representations of point groups, group algebras and representations of symmetric groups, real and complex representations of finite groups, etc.
