The Geometry of Physics
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 Best Download The Geometry of Physics [ by ] Theodore Frankel [ Kindle ePUB or eBook ] – kino-fada.fr This is my favorite book on mathematical physics We used the pre published edition in graduate school I bought the first edition as soon as it came out Super book for anyone who wants to learn about the mathematics used in Physics, from the point of view of a mathematician.If you wish to apply geometry to physics, then you must read this book There is no alternative This is the material that matters any other approach is deficient There is no better exposition than in this text Yes, it is hard going ...Frankel did a great job with this book A mathematician can enjoy this book even though it is mathematical physics The mathematics is presented in very nice form.I really like the exposition in this book.
