It evaluates pioneering attempts to generalize Lie's classical ideas to the infinite-dimensional case in the works of Lie, Engel, Medolaghi and Vessiot. Within this context, Cartan's groundbreaking contributions in continuous group theory, particularly in his characteristic and unique recourse to exterior differential calculus, are introduced and discussed at length. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe work concludes by discussing Cartan's contributions to the structural theory of infinite continuous groups, his method of moving frames, and the genesis of his geometrical theory of Lie groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alberto Cogliati\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128142448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128142448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Alberto Cogliati","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48135874937087,"sku":"9780128142448","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c803bde-d071-4f83-8f9f-5ef8fe934fbf.jpg?v=1770159024","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-small-omegas-alberto-cogliati-9780128142448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
