I strongly oppose merging "Matrix group" and "Classical Lie group". They are very different topics. A matrix group is any group of matrices. It may be finite, it may have coefficients in a finite field, it may be a topologically discrete subgroup of a classical Lie group, etc. A classical Lie group is a manifold with group structure; this gives it very particular properties. There are different questions and results that belong to the two topics. Zaslav 20:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
