Lie Groups and Lie Algebras I Foundations of Lie Theory Lie Transformation Groups

From the reviews: "This volume consists of two parts. ... Part I is devoted to a systematic development of the theory of Lie groups. The Lie algebras are studied only in connection with Lie groups, i.e. a systematic study of the Lie algebras is included here. Neither the structural theory of th...
