| Dec 11, 2010 at 7:36 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | @BCnrd: I said "most comprehensive", and I did not say anything about learning. The OP asked for a reference, so I decided that most comprehensive was one reasonable way to construe "best reference". I think giving other texts and explaining in what ways they may also be "best" would be a positive contribution. | |
| Dec 11, 2010 at 6:24 | comment | added | BCnrd | Dear Pete: Does (1) mean for learning, or as a general reference for research? Recommending Bourbaki to learn about root systems is like recommending EGA to learn algebraic geometry. For most people it is probably better to learn the basics from a more example-oriented and "concrete" source. The Bourbaki treatment is awesomely comprehensive (as EGA is for schemes), but books like Humphreys (on Lie algebras), Serre (on complex ss Lie alg.), and Springer (in chapter 8 of his book on algebraic groups) are more user-friendly ways to get a grip on things before diving into the ultimate resource. | |
