Non-holonomic connections following Élie Cartan

In this note we revisit E. Cartan's address at the 1928 International Congress of Mathematicians at Bologna, Italy. The distributions considered here will be of the same class as those considered by Cartan, a special type which we call strongly or maximally non-holonomic. We set up the groundwo...
