In many ways Cartan was so successful in presenting Killing's classification of the semisimple Lie algebras in rigorous and complete single work, that Killing has not received as much acclaim for his remarkable achievements as one might have expected.
Sa maraming mga paraan upang Cartan ay matagumpay sa paglalahad ng pagpatay ng pag-uuri ng semisimple humiga / magsinungaling algebras sa mahigpit na at kumpleto na nag-iisang trabaho, na ang pagpatay ay hindi natanggap ng marami bilang pagbubunyi para sa kanyang pansin achievements bilang isa maaaring may inaasahan.
