The Lie Algebras su(N), an Introduction
... The text in your work is very well written and is fun to read. Your method
of constructing the SU(N) irreps is very nice and avoids the complications
of the classical way. One think that is missing in your text is a more complete
description of the different fundametal irreps of the SU(N) groups.
In the future i'm also planning to include parts of your work while teaching the
lie algebra course for physics graduates ...

... My opinion on your work is quite positive! It is extremely simply written though the level is quite advanced , especially concerning the basic definitions which for most books it is an Achilles'Heel…Your language is also excellent! Not technical or trying to sound to "mathematical. For the SU(3) discussions I found it still clearer than most other textbooks! ...

... Your text was concise and formal, which is the best part of the text, but also makes it little boring (had it more remarks related to practical and historical things it would be much better

... I don't think that you went far enough at times.I think definitions in print of SU(5), SU(6) and SU(7)would be useful. ( A4,A5,A6 like Lie algebras).
But what you did do I appreciated. You effort to make this area more understandable is commendable.

Indeed I have used this copy mostly as means of quick reference in order to make sure things I use in my work are correct. To this end it has been really useful since when studying QCD one needs to understand the structure of Lie algebras.
