This book presents a new and innovative approach to Lie groups and differential geometry. Rather than compiling and reviewing the existing material on this classical subject, Professor Ortacgil instead questions the foundations of the subject, and proposes a new direction.

Aimed at the curious and courageous mathematician, this book aims to provoke further debate and inspire further development of this original research.


Ercument Ortacgil, Professor Emeritus, Bogazici University

Professor Ercument Ortacgil received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1985, and then returned home to Turkey to join the mathematics department at Bogazici University, Istanbul. He retired in 2011, and set his mind to the writing this book to inspire further research on the seemingly elementary problems that have enamoured him throughout his career.
