I meant to get back to this earlier. You might want to look at Geometry of Representation Spaces in SU(2) - advanced, but with some real gems http://arxiv.org/pdf/1001.2408
The Quaternions and the Spaces S3, SU(2), SO(3), and RP3 http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis610/cis610sl7.pdf The first of these is fairly advanced, but if you have a background in differential geometry, it's well worth reading. The second is more accessible, using explicit matrix manipulations and such. Oh, and don't forget Wolfram Mathworld! It's a very useful online encyclopedia of mathematics. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SpecialUnitaryGroup.html _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
