Book Synopsis
Lie groups and algebraic groups are important in many major areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. We find them in diverse roles, notably as groups of automorphisms of geometric structures, as symmetries of differential systems, or as basic tools in the theory of automorphic forms. This book looks at their development.

Table of Contents
Overview Full reducibility and invariants for $\mathbf{SL}_2(\mathbb C)$ Hermann Weyl and Lie groups Elie Cartan, symmetric spaces and Lie groups Linear algebraic groups in the 19th century Linear algebraic groups in the 20th century The work of Chevalley in Lie groups and algebraic groups Algebraic groups and Galois theory in the work of Ellis R.
