The notion of a fibre bundle first arose out of questions posed in the 1930s on the topology and geometry of manifolds. By the year 1950 the defini tion of fibr

Fibre bundles, now an integral part of differential geometry, are also of great importance in modern physics--such as in gauge theory. This book, a succinct int

This book provides a systematic presentation of the mathematical foundation of modern physics with applications particularly within classical mechanics and the
