Summary: Readable and Useful
Comment: This book is useful as both a primer on the subject and a research reference. It succeds on both counts where a book by G. Baumann with a similar title fails.

The author does not assume any level of mahematical knowledge or sophistication beyond standard mathematical course work required of engineering students. It may be of importance to know that Professor Cantwell uses this book to teach a course at an engineerng department.

What makes this book especially valuable is the Mathematica package included on the CD-ROM. The symmetry calculations are often very tedious and complex. Thereore, there is a strong need to automate at least some of the work. A beginner can simply use some of the sample notebooks provided by the author and understand the method. A researcher can start with any of those notebooks, replace the author's equations with the ones of interest, and follow through the steps of the procedure.

If you are going to buy only one book on this subject, this has to be it!
