Lie's theory of transformation groups

Analytic local transformation groups, parameters, flows, complete systems, the three fundamental theorems, structure and homogeneous actions, jets and contact transformations, classification, and the Riemann–Helmholtz problem. Twelve lesson drafts with independently written proofs and solved exercises are available. Assigned historical/source work and the full Lie–Tresse and classification derivations remain in progress.
