Description for Topology, Geometry and Gauge fields: Foundations
Hardback. Reflecting fresh mutual interest between mathematics and physics, this updated second edition interweaves rudimentary notions from the classical gauge theory of physics with the topological and geometrical concepts that are their mathematical models. Series: Texts in Applied Mathematics. Num Pages: 457 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 25. Weight in Grams: 1810.
This is a book on topology and geometry and, like any books on subjects as vast as these, it has a point-of-view that guided the selection of topics. Naber takes the view that the rekindled interest that mathematics and physics have shown in each other of late should be fostered and that this is best accomplished by allowing them to cohabit. The book weaves together rudimentary notions from the classical gauge theory of physics with the topological and geometrical concepts that became the mathematical models of these notions. We ask the reader to come to us with some vague notion ... Read more

Reviews for Topology, Geometry and Gauge fields: Foundations
First Edition Review: "Naber’s book, together with its predecessor[N4] subtitled Foundations, occupies a less populated niche in the market. This is the sector of teachable texts on differential geometry and its use in physics. Teachability does not refer to a definition-theorem-proof format. Nor does it imply anything about the depth of the treatment. Rather, it has to do ... Read more
