This book presents the basics of mathematics that are needed for learning the physics of today. It describes briefly the theories of groups and operators, finite- and infinite-dimensional algebras, concepts of symmetry and supersymmetry, and then delineates their relations to theories of relativity and black holes, classical and quantum physics, electroweak fields and Yang-Mills. It concludes with a chapter on (the complex theory of) strings and superstrings and their link to black holes ― an idea that fascinates both the physicist and the mathematician.

Cr�ticas

"A very serious and scholarly work which deserves ... the attention of the physics community." Claude R Canizares Associate Provost Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge "There is no better book than that of Prakash. It serves as a bridge between research cognoscenti and the simpler folks who use mathematical physics." Ulrich Gerlach Ohio State University, Columbus "A comprehensive mathematical resource for the topics covered." Mike Guidry University of Tennessee, Knoxville "An encyclopaedic work which will serve as an excellent resource for physicists." Kenneth A Ross University of Oregon, Eugene "Invaluable source for references and exercises on a wide range of topics in mathematical physics." Kamesh Wali Syracuse University, New York "Its chapters are many and long, but the individual sections are short and well-constructed. The exercises are accessible and hints provided. I recommend the book." Michael Berg Loyola Marymont University, Los Angeles
