Geometrical Quantum Mechanics: 1974 Lecture Notes (Lecture Notes Series)

Geroch's lecture notes on geometrical quantum mechanics are divided into three parts ˆ' Differential Geometry, Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics. The necessary geometrical ideas are presented in the first part of the book and are applied to mechanics and quantum mechanics in the second and third part. What also makes this book a valuable contribution to the existing textbooks on quantum physics is Geroch's unique approach to teaching theoretical and mathematical physics ˆ' the physical concepts and the mathematics, which describes them, are masterfully intertwined in such a way that both reinforce each other to facilitate the understanding even of the most abstract and subtle issues.
