Critics Review
This book has been famous for many years and used by several generations of readers. It is important that the book has again become available for a general audience.““— European Mathematical Society Newsletter
”“One of the most important and excellent textbooks and a reference work about contemporary differential geometry …”“— Zentralblatt MATH
”“Important improvements in the new edition of S. Helgason’s book will turn it into a desk book for many following generations.”“— Mathematica Bohemica
From reviews for the First Edition: ““A great book … a necessary item in any mathematical library.”“— S. S. Chern, University of California
”“Written with unmatched lucidity, systematically, carefully, beautifully.”“— S. Bochner, Princeton University
”“Helgason’s monograph is a beautifully done piece of work and should be extremely useful for several years to come, both in teaching and in research.”“— D. Spencer, Princeton University
”“A brilliant book: rigorous, tightly organized, and covering a vast amount of good mathematics.”“— Barrett O’Neill, University of California
”“Renders a great service in permitting the non-specialist, with a minimum knowledge of differential geometry and Lie groups, an initiation to the theory of symmetrical spaces.— H. Cartan, Secretariat Mathematique, Paris
”“The mathematical community has long been in need of a book on symmetric spaces. S. Helgason has admirably satisfied this need with his book, Differential Geometry and Symmetric Spaces. It is a remarkably well-written book … a masterpiece of concise, lucid mathematical exposition … it might be used as a textbook for ‘how to write mathematics’.”“— Louis Auslander
”“[The author] will earn the gratitude of many generations of mathematicians for this skillful, tasteful, and highly efficient presentation. It will surely become a classic.”“— G. D. Mostow, Yale University
