However, it contains exactly the things one ends up remembering after a year's course, so it's great for review, reminder, or a reference book. The exposition, as usual for Serre, is very clear.|11 of 11 people found the following review helpful.| ||From the reviews of the French edition: |"...the book is intended for those who have an acquaintance with the basic parts of the theory, namely, with those general theorems on Lie algebras which do not depend on the notion of Cartan subalgebra.

These short notes, already well-known in their original French edition, present the basic theory of semisimple Lie algebras over the complex numbers. The author begins with a summary of the general properties of nilpotent, solvable, and semisimple Lie algebras. Subsequent chapters introduce Cartan subalgebras, root systems, and linear representations. The last chapter discusses the connection between Lie algebras, complex groups and compact groups. The book is intended t...
