The great Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie developed the general
theory of transformations in the 1870s, and the first part of the
book properly focuses on his work. In the second part the central
figure is Wilhelm Killing, who developed structure and
classification of semisimple Lie algebras. The third part focuses
on the developments of the representation of Lie algebras, in
particular the work of Elie Cartan. The book concludes with the
work of Hermann Weyl and his contemporaries on the structure and
representation of Lie groups which serves to bring together much of
the earlier work into a coherent theory while at the same time
opening up significant avenues for further work.
