Theory Of Lie Groups Av Claude Chevalley

One of the first books to approach Lie groups from the global point of view, this introductory treatment was the standard text on the subject for many years. Topics include the classical linear groups, topological groups, manifolds, analytic groups, differential calculus of Cartan, and compact Lie groups and their representations.
