Introduction to Lie algebras and representation theory (Graduate texts in mathematics): James E Humphreys

This book is designed to introduce the reader to the theory of semisimple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, with emphasis on representations. A good knowledge of linear algebra (including eigenvalues, bilinear forms, Euclidean spaces, and tensor products of vector spaces) is presupposed, as well as some acquaintance with the methods of abstract algebra. The first four chapters might well be read by a bright undergraduate; however, the remaining three chapters are more demanding. This text grew out of lectures which the author gave at the N.S.F. Advanced Science Seminar on Algebraic Groups at Bowdoin College in 1968.

Review:

I must admit, my progress through this book can be measured in lines. It's not that it's confusing, but that it's pretty dense. The proofs are structured in such a way as to leave teasing amount of details to the reader, and the text measures understanding as much as the exercises. It is that which makes reading this book worthwhile. From an academic point of view, the material in this book is very standard. The content of the first four chapters is closely paralleled by an introductory graduate level course in Lie Algebra and Representation Theory at MIT (although the instructor did not explicitly declare this as class text.) In many ways, this book is my ticket out of attending lectures, and it has done a great job so far. I must admit that it can be frustrating at times to work out the statements of the proofs, but it only makes the understanding just that much more pleasant and adds the perfect amount of emotion to an otherwise black/white text.
