by Shlomo Sternberg is a highly-regarded textbook originally published in 1994 that bridges the gap between abstract mathematical symmetry and physical laws. Based on his courses at Harvard University, Sternberg’s work is noted for its cohesive, well-motivated approach where mathematical theory and physical applications are developed simultaneously rather than in isolation.
