Topics in Differential Geometry
Hardcover
D-differentiation is a unified operation
that enables aspects of differential geometry to be developed and presented from a
different prospectus. This book is the first comprehensive and self-contained
treatment of this new method. It demonstrates concisely but without sacrificing rigour
or intelligibility, how even elementary concepts in differential geometry can be
reformulated to obtain new and valuable insights. In addition, D-differentiation
has applications in several areas of physics, such as classical mechanics, solid-state
physics and general relativity.
This book will prove useful to all users of D-differentiation - from advanced
graduate students onwards - and to those researching into new approaches to some
branches of physics and mathematics.
