The Geometry of Surfaces, Transformation Groups, and Fields
This is the first volume of a three-volume introduction to modern
geometry, with emphasis on applications to other areas of
mathematics and theoretical physics. Topics covered include tensors
and their differential calculus, the calculus of variations in one
and several dimensions, and geometric field theory. This material
is explained in as simple and concrete a language as possible, in a
terminology acceptable to physicists. The text for the second
edition has been substantially revised.
