4.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful Introduction, June 21, 2007
This review is from: Introduction to Lie Algebras (Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series) (Paperback)
As a senior math major I decided I wished to learn Lie Algebra, and based on my experience with the SUMS Number Theory book, I chose this one. I am taking a reading course on Lie Algebras which consists of me reading and doing the problems and asked the teacher if i have issues. This book is perfect. In about two weeks I have gotten through the first 11 chapters, and done about 80% of the problems. In addition to being very clear and simple, it is very complete. Often my adviser will ask if the book covered a particular concept, it has yet to fail. It also provides some nice examples to relate to. Unfortunately it does have several typos and not a complete solution guide, these things kept it from the 5. I especially recommend this book for self-study.
