By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublisher number: : Zafaa Books & Distributors | : 313/56F,Anand Nagar, Inderlok, Delhi-110035Publication details: , Cambridge : Cambridge University Press , 1980.Description: xii, 250 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9780521298872
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 516.36 SCH
Contents:
1. Some basic mathematics 2. Differentiable manifolds and tensors 3. Lie derivatives and Lie groups 4. Differential forms 5. Applications in physics 6. Connections for Riemannian manifolds and gauge theories
Summary: "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."
