{"product_id":"mathematics-for-physics-an-illustrated-handbook","title":"MATHEMATICS FOR PHYSICS: AN ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK","description":"This unique book complements traditional textbooks by providing a visual yet rigorous survey of the mathematics used in theoretical physics beyond that typically covered in undergraduate math and physics courses. The exposition is pedagogical but compact, and the emphasis is on defining and visualizing concepts and relationships between them, as well as listing common confusions, alternative notations and jargon, and relevant facts and theorems. Special attention is given to detailed figures and geometric viewpoints. Certain topics which are well covered in textbooks, such as historical motivations, proofs and derivations, and tools for practical calculations, are avoided. The primary physical models targeted are general relativity, spinors, and gauge theories, with notable chapters on Riemannian geometry, Clifford algebras, and fiber bundles.\nContents:\nMathematical Structures\nAbstract Algebra\nVector Algebras\nTopological Spaces\nAlgebraic Topology\nManifolds\nLie Groups\nClifford Groups\nRiemannian Manifolds\nFiber Bundles\nCategories and Functors\n\nReadership: Students in mathematics and physics who want to explore a level deeper into actual mathematical content.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 9813233915\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.9813233915.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Adam Marsh\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has corner dings.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56470764355889,"sku":"GBV.9813233915.G","price":77.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/3730\/2065\/files\/9813233915-0.jpg?v=1790360934","url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/mathematics-for-physics-an-illustrated-handbook","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
