Download or read book Introductory Differential Geometry For Physicists written by A Visconti and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992-10-09 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops the mathematics of differential geometry in a way more intelligible to physicists and other scientists interested in this field. This book is basically divided into 3 levels; level 0, the nearest to intuition and geometrical experience, is a short summary of the theory of curves and surfaces; level 1 repeats, comments and develops upon the traditional methods of tensor algebra analysis and level 2 is an introduction to the language of modern differential geometry. A final chapter (chapter IV) is devoted to fibre bundles and their applications to physics. Exercises are provided to amplify the text material.
