review text: Starting with Sophus Lie's original approach of using symmetries to solve differential equations the authors present a very compact, self-contained introduction to the new field in modern group analysis of approximate transformation groups and especially renormalization group symmetries. Many applications are given for nonlinear problems from all parts of mathematical physics. This survey is based on the many books and papers the authors published on this subject.
