Module content and teaching

Principal aims

In this module we shall introduce the classical examples of Lie groups and basic properties of the associated Lie algebra and exponential map.

Other essential notes

Prerequisites: A knowledge of calculus of several variables including the Implicit Function Theorem and the Inverse Function Theorems, and the existence theorem for ODEs. A basic knowledge of manifolds is a help, but this module can also serve as an introduction to the Manifolds module. Results needed from the theory of manifolds and vector fields will be stated but not proved in the course.
