The focus of this thesis is to provide an introduction to Lie groups—the study of continuous symmetries—and related concepts. Starting with topology and geometry, progressing through the construction of Cayley-Dickson algebras, the thesis ultimately explores a few of the most common Lie groups. Finally, geometric and visual interpretations of SO(3) and SU(2), as well as the relations between them, are investigated.
