Many mathematicians have forgotten that Lie's original motivation for the introduction of Lie groups and algebras was his quest for a differential analogue to Galois' theory of polynomial equations. Although he failed on this goal (a true differential Galois theory was developed only much later by Kolchin on the basis of earlier works by Picard and Vessiot), his results turned out to be extremely fruitful. Lie symmetries belong to the most powerful tools for the analysis of differential equations. Especially for nonlinear equations they often provide the only systematic approach to the construction of closed form solutions. But they have also many other useful applications; most notable is their close connection with conservation laws via Noether's theorem. The book is essentially an extensive user manual for the Mathematica program MathLie developed by the author and included on a CD. The book covers in detail its usage in Lie symmetry analysis. The main part consists of nine chapters. Chap.~2 introduces Lie groups and algebras, Chap.~3 derivatives and vector fields. Symmetry analysis starts in the next chapter with ordinary differential equations. The extension to partial differential equations is the topic of Chap.~5. The next four chapters study various generalizations of the point symmetries treated so far: non-classical symmetries, potential symmetries, approximate symmetries and generalized symmetries (sometimes called Lie-Bäcklund symmetries). Finally, Chap.~10 discusses the solution of over-determined systems of linear partial differential equations. The book concentrates very much on computational aspects and should be useful for engineers and scientists who want to learn fast the basic computational recipes for a symmetry analysis. Unfortunately, the simple geometric ideas behind Lie's theory get somewhat lost between the many calculations. Readers who want to really understand symmetry theory should consult in addition some other texts like the classical one by \textit{P. Olver} [Applications of Lie Groups to Differential Equations, Springer, New York (1986; Zbl 0588.22001)]. The strength of the book are the close integration of computer algebra and the large number of examples often stemming from real applications.
