Product Description

Review

‘Although there are a welter of books where similar material can be found, this book is the most lucid I have come across at this level of exposition. It is eminently suitable for a graduate course (indeed, the more academically able undergraduate should be about to cope with most of it), and the applications should suffice to persuade any physicist or applied mathematician of its importance … Schutz’s book is a triumph …’ The Times Higher Education Supplement

Product Description

In recent years the methods of modern differential geometry have become of considerable importance in theoretical physics and have found application in relativity and cosmology, high-energy physics and field theory, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics and mechanics. This textbook provides an introduction to these methods - in particular Lie derivatives, Lie groups and differential forms - and covers their extensive applications to theoretical physics. The reader is assumed to have some familiarity with advanced calculus, linear algebra and a little elementary operator theory. The advanced physics undergraduate should therefore find the presentation quite accessible. This account will prove valuable for those with backgrounds in physics and applied mathematics who desire an introduction to the subject. Having studied the book, the reader will be able to comprehend research papers that use this mathematics and follow more advanced pure-mathematical expositions.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, 13 Nov 1999

By	M. de Innocentis "Marco" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book provides a unique introduction to differential geometry and its applications. The only prerequisites are a general knowledge of algebra and calculus. Applications in areas such as mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and especially general relativity are explained in detail. An almost essential book for the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student of theoretical or mathematical physics.

4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive intro to Differential Geometry, 1 Mar 2001

By A Customer

It is a bit informal exposition in comparison with other more mathematical rigorous titles. Definitions of difficult concepts like tensors or manifolds are very accessible and the same to differential forms. It is suitable for any first course in modern geometry applied to physics, above all in relativity theory. As a suggest I think the Riemannian geometry chapter should be increased.
