He is also well known for his [[Group theory|group theoretical]] contributions to mathematical physics. His widely used textbook co-authored with Mark A. Samuel,
"Group Theory Made Easy for Scientists and Engineers" (Wiley-Interscience 1979), was very popular.

L.C. Bidenharn and Swamy published very influential papers on the relativistic [[Kepler]] problem.<ref>{{cite journal | last=Biedenharn | first=L.

==Background and career==
Swamy received a [[Bachelor of science|BS]] degree in [[Mathematics]], a BS and [[Master of Science|MS]] degree in [[Physics]] all from [[Bombay University]], and a [[Doctor of Philosophy|PhD]] degree in Physics from [[Florida State University]]. He had lectured at many universities, and was a guest scientist in [[Jülich]],
Germany and [[Cambridge University]] in UK. He had served as a professor of physics at
[[Oklahoma State University]] until his retirement.

Since his retirement in mid eighties, he used his own funds to visit India and teach at various academic institutions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-09-05/vadodara/28109098_1_educational-institutes-indian-and-american-education-average-american-student|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025030513/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-09-05/vadodara/28109098_1_educational-institutes-indian-and-american-education-average-american-student|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-10-25|title=This US prof spends his pension to teach in India|date=2009-09-05|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=2020-03-21}}</ref>

Dr Swamy died in his hometown of Visakhapatnam in India on 13 June 2013.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://physics.okstate.edu/www/rss/news.php |title=Archived copy |access-date=2013-06-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130223095702/http://physics.okstate.edu/www/rss/news.php |archive-date=2013-02-23 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
