Groups are algebraic structures that can be used to understand symmetries of objects. The representation theory of groups is the area of algebra that makes it possible for us to represent these symmetries in a matrix form, which gives us a means to work with complicated structure using the familiar tools of linear algebra. A basic understanding of group representation theory is essential for an understanding of research being done now in computer science, chemistry, physics, and information theory.

群是代数结构，可以用来理解物体的对称性。群的表示理论是代数的一个领域，它使我们有可能用矩阵的形式来表示这些对称性，这给了我们一种使用线性代数的熟悉工具来处理复杂结构的方法。对群体表示理论的基本理解对于理解目前在计算机科学、化学、物理和信息论领域所做的研究是必不可少的。
