Publisher's Synopsis
Manifolds, Groups, Bundles, and Spacetime was written for those who are interested in modern differential geometry and its applications in physics. The primary material is suitable for a graduate level course in the theory of differentiable manifolds, Lie groups, and fiber bundles. The first two chapters are an introduction to concepts from linear algebra and tensors and can be read to establish familiarity with the notation and conventions of the text by those who are already familiar with these topics. The third and fourth chapters are a review of topics from advanced calculus and topology and are included primarily as a convenient reference.
