"Geometry and Physics" addresses mathematicians wanting to understand
modern physics, and physicists wanting to learn geometry. It gives an
introduction to modern quantum field theory and related areas of
theoretical high-energy physics from the perspective of Riemannian
geometry, and an introduction to modern geometry as needed and utilized
in modern physics. Jürgen Jost, a well-known research mathematician and
advanced textbook author, also develops important geometric concepts and
methods that can be used for the structures of physics. In particular,
he discusses the Lagrangians of the standard model and its
supersymmetric extensions from a geometric perspective.
