Abstract

The development of Group Theory in Mathematics as well as its impact in Physics has been spectacular during the twentieth century, and more particularly these last fifty years. If its contribution to Particle Physics deserves a special consideration, its usefulness cannot be neglected in other domains like Statistical Physics for example, and might also be of interest in Theoretical Biology. Some of these aspects will be examined.
