Abstract

This survey is about the fundamentals of the theory of finite dimensional Lie groups over the field of real numbers. The notion of the tangent space of a manifold at a point is considered to be defined via the well known chart and vector formalism, here, a formalism equivalent to other commonly used ones (namely, the curve and derivation methods). The proofs of all assertions about Lie groups are in alignment with this formalism, here. Dealing with the basic facts of Lie groups rigorously with regard to this formulation of tangent space seems to be scarce in the literature.
