Sophus Lie (1842-1899) was a Norwegian mathematician known for his foundational work in the field of continuous symmetry and transformation groups, which has profound implications in various areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. His most significant contribution is the development of what is now known as Lie theory, which studies Lie groups and Lie algebras.
