This book was released on 1993 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A solid introduction to applications of Lie groups to differential equations which have proved to be useful in practice. The computational methods are presented such that graduates and researchers can readily learn to use them. Following an exposition of the applications, the book develops the underlying theory, with many of the topics presented in a novel way, emphasising explicit examples and computations. Further examples, as well as new theoretical developments, appear in the exercises at the end of each chapter.
