Differential Geometry, Lie Groups, and Symmetric Spaces

The present book is intended as a textbook and reference work on three topics in the title. Together with a volume in progress on "e;Groups and Geometric Analysis"e; it supersedes my "e;Differential Geometry and Symmetric Spaces,"e; published in 1962. Since that time several branches of the subject, particularly the function theory on symmetric spaces, have developed substantially. I felt that an expanded treatment might now be useful.
