Even had with me on the Finnish army reserve forces bootcamp in the summer of '87. I did my conscript duty in coastal artillery. So when we needed any math done, your book gave me enough street cred, and the officers would not question my math. | |

The relevant chapters are mainly 6 and 8, though as I remarked there are essential references to 5 in some exercises. Since my 1972 book didn't include affine Weyl groups, it's probably best to follow the case-by-case treatment based on the classification (as in Table 1 of $\S13$) even though this is not so elegant. | |
| Feb 6, 2017 at 6:38 | comment | added | Learn_Math | Thanks for comments; which part of Bourbaki's series the book is? Also can you suggest some points for the problem above? The solution posted is also partially not clear which I already commented there. | |
