Lie algebras are linear algebra devices of great usefulness in mathematics and physics as an efficient tool for the study of symmetries of objects. This course will cover the fundamentals of the subject, including nilpotent and solvable Lie algebras, as well as semisimple Lie algebras and their representations.
Open to Graduate students only. MATH 611 & 612 A second algebra course, e.g. Math 612, is recommended.
