MATH 510 Introduction to Lie Groups and Lie Algebras

An introduction to the theory of Lie groups and Lie Algebras via matrix groups. We construct the prominent classical families of Lie groups by working with matrix algebras over the real numbers, complex numbers, and quaternions. We then define the Lie algebras as tangent spaces of these groups.
