Abstract
In this book, we give an exposition of the theory of Borcherds-Kac-Moody Lie algebras and of the ongoing classification and explicit construction project of a subclass of these infinite dimensional Lie algebras. We try to keep the material as elementary as possible. More precisely, our aim is to present some of the theory developed by Borcherds to graduate students and mathematicians from other fields.
