I teach a course on group theory for physics at the level of senior undergraduates. I follow basically the book by Georgi "Lie algebra in particle physics". So I teach them, the groups SU(2), SU(3) and other related subjects. However there are too little exercises in this book, and I couldn't find enough exercises on the net. Do you know where can I find exercises on group theory FOR physicists?

I can recommend H.F. Jones, ``Groups, representations and physics'', Institute of Physics Publishing, 1990: it has a good selection of exercises at the end of each chapter.

Wu-Ki Tung's Group Theory in Physics has problems at the end of each chapter. Michael Aizazis published the complete solutions to these problems.

I think that the H.F. Jones book "Group Theory in physics" can be another good reference.
