Product Information
This text is based upon the author's view that the rekindled interest mathematics and physics have shown in each other should be fostered and that this is best accomplished by allowing them to cohabit. It weaves together rudimentary notions from the classical gauge theory of physics with the topological and geometrical concepts that became the mathematical models of these notions.Product Identifiers
