Introductory Treatise On Lie's Theory Of Finite Continuous Transformation Groupsby John Edward Campbell - Oxford Clarendon Press
In this treatise an attempt is made to give, in as elementary a form as possible, the main outlines of Lie's theory of Continuous Groups. Even those familiar with the theory may find something new in the form in which the theory is here presented.

Roots of a Compact Lie Groupby Kristopher Tapp - arXiv
This expository article introduces the topic of roots in a compact Lie group. Compared to the many other treatments of this standard topic, I intended for mine to be relatively elementary, example-driven, and free of unnecessary abstractions.
