Summary
We describe the basic properties of algebraic groups, starting with tori and diagonalisable groups, then going on to solvable groups and Borel and parabolic subgroups, then going on to semi-simple and reductive groups, radical and unipotent radical, and finally giving as examples the classical linear, symplectic and orthogonal groups.
