Book Description:
|
Presents an introduction to differential geometry. This book then introduces Lie groups and Lie algebras. It concludes with the classification of symmetric spaces by means of the Killing-Cartan classification of simple Lie algebras over $\mathbf{{C}}$ and Cartan's classification of simple Lie algebras over $\mathbf{{R}}$.
