Abstract
Aims 1) Give a brief explanation of what representation theory is and why it matters, beginning from the case of finite groups and generalising from there. 2) A brief look into some of the main results of the representation theory of Compact Groups. 3) (Time permitting) A brief look into some of the results of the representation theory of Locally Compact Abelian (LCA) groups, drawing connections with what has been discussed up to that point and briefly explaining how most of fourier analysis can be seen as a very special case of the more general representation theory of LC groups.
