Summary Annotation This book looks at the development of lie groups and algebraic groups, highlighting the evolution from the almost purely local theory at the start to the global theory that we know today. Starting from Lie's theory of local analytic transformation groups and early work on Lie algebras, he follows the process of globalization in its two main frameworks: differential geometry and topology on one hand, algebraic geometry on the other. Chapters II through IV are devoted to the former, Chapters V through VIII, to the latter.
