This famous book was the first treatise on Lie groups in which a modern point of view was adopted systematically, namely, that a continuous group can be regarded as a global object. To develop this idea to its fullest extent, Chevalley incorporated a broad range of topics, such as the covering spaces of topological spaces, analytic manifolds, integration of complete systems of differential equations on a manifold, and the calculus of exterior differential forms.
The book opens with a short description of the classical groups: unitary groups, orthogonal groups, symplectic groups, etc. These special groups are then used to illustrate the general properties of Lie groups, which are considered later. The general notion of a Lie group is defined and correlated with the algebraic notion of a Lie algebra; the subgroups, factor groups, and homomorphisms of Lie groups are studied by making use of the Lie algebra. The last chapter is concerned with the theory of compact groups, culminating in Peter-Weyl's theorem on the existence of representations. Given a compact group, it is shown how one can construct algebraically the corresponding Lie group with complex parameters which appears in the form of a certain algebraic variety (associated algebraic group). This construction is intimately related to the proof of the generalization given by Tannaka of Pontrjagin's duality theorem for Abelian groups.
The continued importance of Lie groups in mathematics and theoretical physics make this an indispensable volume for researchers in both fields.

Long regarded as a masterpiece in content and form, this work defines the concept of surface curvature and presents the important theorem stating that the "Gauss curvature" is invariant under arbitrary isometric deformation of a curved surface. This edition of Gauss's classic features a new introduction, bibliography, and notes by science historian Peter Pesic. 1902 edition.

《广义函数论》是关于广义函数的第一本专著。全书共分九章。书中系统总结、高度概括了作者L．施瓦兹当年得以获得“菲尔兹奖”的主要工作。讨论了广义函数的各种基本性质、运算与变换，特别是阐明了著名的Dirac函数其实是一个测度而不是一个函数。从而为Dirac测度在量子力学以及其他学科中的广泛应用打下了坚实的数学基础。
《广义函数论》包含了当时与广义函数论有关的许多重要的理论和原始思想。在其法文版首次出版后半个多世纪的今天仍有理论价值和参考价值，尤其适合于数学系高年级本科生或研究生研读。

这是近年来现代分析数学最著名、最重要的论著之一。近30年来，调和分析历经了巨大发展，涌现了许多新的成果，而此书的主旨正是对这一领域的最新发展作了全面、系统、深入的阐述。书中主要论述了以下几方面的内容：调和分析经典理论的实变刻画；拟微分算子与奇异积分算子；几乎正交理论；振荡积分理论；极大算子和极大平均理论Heisenberg群上的调和分析等。作者尽量使用第一手材料，而且尽其所能将每一种证明方法的优越性告诉读者。每章的附录对最新的研究成果及其在其它学科中的应用进行了详细的评述。总之，这是一部论证严谨、内容丰富而不乏深度的不可多得的优秀学术专著。
