Taubes

DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY OGTM C

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Bundles, connections, metrics & curvature are the lingua franca of modern differential geometry & theoretical physics. Supplying graduate students in mathematics or theoretical physics with the fundamentals of these objects, & providing numerous examples, the book would suit a one-semester course on the subject of bundles & the associated geometry
