The books emerged from a period in the late 1960s when many people wanted to assimilate and develop the ideas in the Chevalley classification seminar. Algebraic geometry at the time was very much in flux, with the approaches of Weil and Chevalley rapidly giving way. Borel's lectures at Columbia were written up by Bass and later turned into a sort of textbook by me, followed by Springer's and then an expanded book by Borel himself. All very ad hoc. | |
