Why is it interesting?

There are almost surely hundreds of precise textbooks on differential geometry and fiber bundles, many bringing to mind the observation by C.N. Yang that “There are only two kinds of math books. Those you cannot read beyond the first sentence, and those you cannot read beyond the first page.” On the other end of the spectrum are the “[x] for physicists” books which often treat their chosen material intuitively but not precisely enough to be useful in calculating or deriving anything. The chief strength of this book is its ability to do both well, and in a non-cumbersome formalism. Concepts are explained in a clear, easy to read manner and then connected to precise definitions written in a useful formalism. Any one of these three can make for a useful book, but Baez and Muniain set a new standard by offering all three. And over 300 exercises.Joseph M. Renes
