Product Description: Basic Algebra and Advanced Algebra systematically develop concepts and tools in algebra that are vital to every mathematician, whether pure or applied, aspiring or established. Together, the two books give the reader a global view of algebra and its role in mathematics as a whole, presenting the subject matter in a forward-looking way that takes into account its historical development...read more

Merging algebra and analysis, this text uses Lie-theoretic methods to develop a theory with wide applications in mathematics and physics. It aims to encourage the reader's understanding of Lie theory to evolve from beginner to expert. Topics include: the Cartan theory of complex semisimple Lie algebras; the Cartan-Weyl theory of the structure of representations of compact Lie groups; the classification of real semisimple Lie algebras; the structure theory of noncompact reductive Lie groups; and integration on reductive groups.
