Introduction to Supersymmetry (2nd Edition)

Supersymmetry is a symmetry which combines bosons and fermions in the same multiplet of a larger group which unites the transformations of this symmetry with that of spacetime. This title provides an introduction to supersymmetry, and begins with a chapter on spacetime symmetries and spinors. It also addresses the breaking of supersymmetry.
