Written by physicists for physics students, this text assumes no detailed background in topology or geometry. Topics include differential forms, homotopy, homol
A concise but self-contained introduction of the central concepts of modern topology and differential geometry on a mathematical level is given specifically wit
Application of the concepts and methods of topology and geometry have led to a deeper understanding of many crucial aspects in condensed matter physics, cosmolo
Differential geometry and topology have become essential tools for many theoretical physicists. In particular, they are indispensable in theoretical studies of
Like any books on a subject as vast as this, this book has to have a point-of-view to guide the selection of topics. Naber takes the view that the rekindled int
