TOPICS IN PHYSICAL MATHEMATICS - KISHORE MARATH...

As many readers will know  the 20th century was a time when the fields of mathematics and the
sciences were seen as two separate entities. Caused by the rapid growth of the physical
sciences and an increasing abstraction in mathematical research  each party  physicists and
mathematicians alike  suffered a misconception  not only of the opposition's theoretical
underpinning  but of how the two subjects could be intertwined and effectively utilized. One
sub-discipline that played a part in the union of the two subjects is Theoretical Physics.
Breaking it down further came the fundamental theories  Relativity and Quantum theory  and
later on Yang-Mills theory. Other areas to emerge in this area are those derived from the works
of Donaldson  Chern-Simons  Floer-Fukaya  and Seiberg-Witten. Aimed at a wide audience 
Physical Topics in Mathematics demonstrates how various physical theories have played a crucial
role in the developments of Mathematics and in particular  Geometric Topology. Issues are
studied in great detail  and the book steadfastly covers the background of both Mathematics and
Theoretical Physics in an effort to bring the reader to a deeper understanding of their
interaction. Whilst the world of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics is boundless  it is not
the intention of this book to cover its enormity. Instead  it seeks to lead the reader through
the world of Physical Mathematics  leaving them with a choice of which realm they wish to visit
next.
