This book gives an excellent survey of recent work on classical groups, simplifying and unifying the results of many authors. No attempt is made to cover all of the voluminous literature on classical groups, the author deals with only that portion of the subject which can be handled by the methods of linear algebra. By thus restricting his scope, he is able to include proofs of most of the results described, thereby making the book more self-c...

The author describes the development of the Lie groups and their ad­ vancement into the modern mathematics. At the end of the last century Sophus Lie investigated in his voluminous work the local properties of the Lie groups. Not before about 1925 mathematicians, instigated by E. Cartan and H. Weyl, engaged in researching their global structure. Very soon the conception of Lie groups triumphantly advanced within the whole scope of mathematics....

Das vorliegende Bueh entstand aus Vorlesungen, die fUr Studenten mit ab­ gesehlossenem Grundstudium oder auBergewohnlieh fortgesehrittene Studenten 1 niederer Studienjahre ) bestimmt waren. Diese Vorlesungen, die ieh in den Jahren 1956-57 an der Northwestern University gehalten habe, verfolgten einen doppelten Zweek: Sie soUten die notwendigen elementaren Hilfsmittel fiir ein Studium aller Zweige der modernen Mathematik bereitstelIen, in denen...

This book is of interest for students of mathematics or of neighboring subjects like physics, engineering, computer science, and also for people who have at least school level mathematics and have kept some interest in it. Also good for younger readers just reaching their final school year of mathematics.

Since the early part of the 20th century, topology has gradually spread to many other branches of mathematics, and this book demonstrates how the subject continues to play a central role in the field. Written by a world-renowned mathematician, this classic text traces the history of algebraic topology beginning with its creation in the early 1900s and describes in detail the important theories that were discovered before 1960. Through the work...
