Geometry, Topology and Physics

My entire Differential Geometry course was based upon this book so I relented and splashed out a bit to get myself my own copy that I can annotate freely. I bought a second hand copy for ~£52 and it came in perfect condition. My seller was kind enough to wrap it tightly in plastic to prevent any damage during transport and the pages were not marked or damaged at all.I personally really enjoy the way this text has been written there's enough detail in the theory to the point were it satisfies me as reader but not so much repetition that it becomes drab. Concise, detailed and thorough in the theorems and proofs presented. Enough exercises to satisfy the passing reader but I guess you can always wish for more :D Hopefully those will get supplemented by your professor. But as always with most graduate student books they are there as a detailed 'dictionary' if you will - not so much as an exercise book.If you want something that covers all bases in your beginners quest of Differential Geometry this is the book for you!

Nakahara is quite a clear book. The logic is very tight and organized and the exercises are nice - they are short and easy, just to check your understanding. It is a good idea to do all of the exercises because there are not many of them. It is one of the more rigorous "math for physicists" books I have read.There are indeed some mistakes, but you should be able to find them. One good thing is that Nakahara points out the physical interpretation of things, like homotopy, so you can get a intuitive feel. A great book!The only complaint I have is that the references are pretty bad. Nakahara likes to cite Japanese books which I do not have access to and, anyway, are in Japanese. I wish he would cite classic books that everyone uses.

Yes I got it with a excellent quality.

If you, as a pathetic physics student that stopped taking maths classes after undergrad topology, have ever wanted a mathematical physicist to beat you about the head with a blunt instrument until you understood how to express physics ideas in the language of Riemannian geometry then this is the book for you. 10/10 would get flexed on by Nakahara again
