In mathematics, the classical groups are the matrix groups arising from finite-dimensional vector spaces and from nondegenerate bilinear, sesquilinear, quadratic, and Hermitian forms. In the traditional setting of Lie groups, this includes the real, complex, and quaternionic general linear, special linear, orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic groups, together with their indefinite analogues.
