Description

Book Synopsis
A self-contained and elementary presentation of Lie group theory, concentrating on analysis on Lie groups. The author describes in detail many interesting examples with topics ranging from Haar measure to harmonic functions. With numerous exercises and worked examples, it's ideal for a graduate course on analysis on Lie groups.

Trade Review
"The main themes are carefully explained and illustrated by well-chosen examples. He succeeds in putting a remarkable wealth of material into a 300-page book which will certainly serve as a basis for many courses on the subject." Joachim Hilgert, Mathematical Reviews
