III. The Objectives and Requirements of the Course

The course is abasiccoursefor studying Lie algebra theory, the aim of the course is tointroducethe studentsto the theory of semisimple Lie algebras over an algebrically closed field of characteristic 0 with emphasis on representations.By learning this course, the students should reach the following basic requirements:students should be familiar with the basic structure theory through the classicfication by Dynkin diagrams; use the theory they learn for further studying such as the classification over non-algebraically closed field, Lie algebra in prime characteristic, etc.
