Included are discussions of analytical and fluid dynamics, electromagnetism (in flat and curved space), thermodynamics, the Dirac operator and spinors, and gauge fields, including Yang–Mills, the Aharonov–Bohm effect, Berry phase and instanton winding numbers, quarks and quark model for mesons. Before discussing abstract notions of differential geometry, geometric intuition is developed through a rather extensive introduction to the study of surfaces in ordinary space. The book is ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of physics, engineering or mathematics as a course text or for self study. This third edition includes an overview of Cartan's exterior differential forms, which previews many of the geometric concepts developed in the text.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 174mmItem Width: 33mmItem Weight: 1440gAuthor: Theodore FrankelGenre: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
