Lie Groups and Algebras with Applications to Physics, Geometry, and Mechanics

by David H. Sattinger and O.L. Weaver

Book Overview

This book is intended as an introductory text on the subject of Lie groups and algebras and their role in various fields of mathematics and physics. It is written by and for researchers who are primarily analysts or physicists, not algebraists or geometers. Not that we have eschewed the algebraic and geo- metric developments. But we wanted to present them in a concrete way and to show how the subject interacted with physics, geometry, and mechanics...
