About the Book

This is the second volume of a three-volume introduction to modern geometry, with emphasis on applications to other areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. Topics covered include homotopy groups, fibre bundles, dynamical systems, and foliations. The exposition is simple and concrete, and in a terminology palatable to physicists.
