An Introduction to the Lie Theory of One-Parameter Groups
by Abraham Cohen - D.C. Heath & co , 1911
The object of this book is to present in an elementary manner, in English, an introduction to Lie s theory of one-parameter groups, with special reference to its application to the solution of differential equations invariant under such groups.

Continuous Groups Of Transformations
by Luther Pfahler Eisenhart - Princeton University Press , 1933
'Continuous Groups Of Transformations' sets forth the general theory of Lie and his contemporaries and the results of recent investigations with the aid of the methods of the tensor calculus and concepts of the new differential geometry.

Roots of a Compact Lie Group
by Kristopher Tapp - arXiv , 2009
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.

Introductory Treatise On Lie's Theory Of Finite Continuous Transformation Groups
by John Edward Campbell - Oxford Clarendon Press , 1903
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.

Lectures on Lie Groups and Representations of Locally Compact Groups
by F. Bruhat - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research , 1958
We consider some heterogeneous topics relating to Lie groups and the general theory of representations of locally compact groups. We have rigidly adhered to the analytic approach in establishing the relations between Lie groups and Lie algebras.

Lecture Notes in Lie Groups
by Vladimir G. Ivancevic, Tijana T. Ivancevic - arXiv , 2011
These notes are designed for a 1-semester third year or graduate course in mathematics, physics, or biology. We give both physical and medical examples of Lie groups. The only necessary background are advanced calculus and linear algebra.

Algebraic Groups, Lie Groups, and their Arithmetic Subgroups
by J. S. Milne , 2010
This work is a modern exposition of the theory of algebraic group schemes, Lie groups, and their arithmetic subgroups. Algebraic groups are groups defined by polynomials. Those in this book can all be realized as groups of matrices.
