Review
'The rapid pace and variety of subject matter make this a very readable book.' Mathematika

Product Description
Three of the leading figures in the field have composed this excellent introduction to the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. Together these lectures provide an elementary account of the theory that is unsurpassed. In the first part, Roger Carter concentrates on Lie algebras and root systems. In the second Graeme Segal discusses Lie groups. And in the final part, Ian Macdonald gives an introduction to special linear groups. Graduate students requiring an introduction to the theory of Lie groups and their applications should look no further than this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very recommanded book on the subject, May 21, 2006
This book is an introduction to the subject of Lie groups and Lie algebras. This is a general overview on the subject for students with no background on the subject. There are almost no proofs and this is not a text book. Nevertheless for the mature reader (say someone toward the end of his graduate studies) this is an amazing general introduction. It is clear that a lot of effort was used in order to give the reader as much knowledge as possible with minimal technical details as possible. Intuitive arguments are used when ever possible and motivation is there all along the way. The writing is very elegant and it is clear that the writers are masters in their field. So, if you want an overview on the subject and you do not need to go into technical details look no further then this book.
