Since its origins in the work of Sophus Lie (now more than a century ago), Lie theory has seen tremendous developments and is now fundamental in many areas of mathematics (like group theory, geometry, symmetric spaces etc) and physics (quantum mechanics, particle physics, theory of gravity). Nowadays there are specialized computer packages such as LiE, the Atlas project, the package Chevie for GAP3, the program ChevLie. Also the more general purpose computer algebra systems GAP4, MAGMA and SageMath have large libraries for dealing with various objects that are central to Lie theory.
