Editorial Reviews
Review
"...highly readable and enjoyable ...The book will make an excellent course text or self-study manual for this interesting subject." Physics Today
"If you're looking for a well-written and well-motivated introduction to differential geometry, this one looks hard to beat." MAA On Line, Mathematical Association of America
Product Description
Theodore Frankel explains those parts of exterior differential forms, differential geometry, algebraic and differential topology, Lie groups, vector bundles and Chern forms essential to a better understanding of classical and modern physics and engineering. Key highlights of his new edition are the inclusion of three new appendices that cover symmetries, quarks, and meson masses; representations and hyperelastic bodies; and orbits and Morse-Bott Theory in compact Lie groups. Geometric intuition is developed through a rather extensive introduction to the study of surfaces in ordinary space. First Edition Hb (1997): 0-521-38334-X First Edition Pb (1999): 0-521-38753-1
