Synopsis

Designed for students of physics, this text introduces geometrical and topological techniques used across theoretical physics and applied mathematics, with an emphasis on physical motivation. No detailed prior knowledge of topology or geometry is assumed, making the material approachable while still covering substantial ground.

Topics include differential forms, homotopy, homology and cohomology, fibre bundles, connections and covariant derivatives, and Morse theory. Suitable for physics students looking to build a working understanding of these mathematical methods.
