Book Description

This book is an English translation of the notes from David Hilbert's course in 1897 on Invariant Theory at the University of Gottingen taken by his student Sophus Marxen. The lectures take into account both the old approach of his predecessors and his newer ideas. This bridge from nineteenth- to twentieth-century mathematics makes these lecture notes a special and fascinating account of invariant theory.
