- Summary:
- Despite the extensive use of the concepts of topology, differential geometry and other areas of contemporary mathematics in recent developments in theoretical physics, there are few books accessible to postgraduate students in physics. This book fills the gap between advanced level and introductory books.
- A knowledge of quantum field theory, relativity and undergraduate mathematics is assumed. More specialised techniques are explained in the text to make the book self-contained.
- Notes:
- Includes index.
- Bibliography: pages [492]-496.
