Introductory Treatise On Lie's Theory Of Finite Continuous Transformation Groups (1903)

Introductory Treatise On Lie�������s Theory Of Finite Continuous Transformation Groups (1903) by John Edward Campbell is a comprehensive guide to the mathematical theory of finite continuous transformation groups, as developed by the German mathematician Sophus Lie. The book provides a detailed introduction to Lie's theory, including his fundamental concepts of group theory, Lie algebras, and the theory of continuous transformations. The author begins by introducing the reader to the basic concepts of group theory, including the definition of a group, subgroups, and homomorphisms. He then goes on to explain Lie's theory of continuous transformation groups, which involves the study of the symmetries of differential equations. The book covers Lie's fundamental theorems, which relate the Lie algebra of a continuous transformation group to the group itself, and also explores the relationship between Lie groups and Lie algebras. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and applications of Lie's theory, including its use in the study of differential equations, geometry, and physics. The book also includes a detailed appendix that provides additional background material on topics such as matrix algebra, differential calculus, and topology. Overall, Introductory Treatise On Lie�������s Theory Of Finite Continuous Transformation Groups is an essential resource for anyone interested in the mathematical theory of groups and continuous transformations, and it remains a classic text in the field to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
