This book explains and develops new applications of continuous symmetry groups (Lie groups), in particular, the symbolic manipulation of invariants of group actions. The language used is primarily that of undergraduate calculus. More sophisticated ideas from differential topology and Lie theory are explained from scratch using worked examples and exercises.
