Omschrijving
Although much has happened in the field since the publication of this book, as demonstrated by Helgason's own three-volume expansion of the original work, this volume is still an excellent overview of the subjects. For instance, the chapters on differential geometry and Lie groups continue to be among the best treatments of the subjects available.
”Remarkably well written ... might be used as a textbook for how to write mathematics.” - Bulletin of the AMS
