Hi guys,
I just wanted to hear some thoughts and recommendations. I am looking to learn/study up on differential geometry (including n-forms, tensors, etc) and perhaps group theory so as to better understand the mathematics behind some of the physics that I'm interested in (General Relativity, and the foundations of Quantum Mechanics with extensions perhaps into QFT).
I'm looking for 2 books maybe that could serve as a general overview/review of the important topics (graduate level or advanced undergraduate). I don't need an extremely thorough treatment of the subjects (I am, after all, no mathematician), but I want to go a little deeper than the math that I've been taught solely from learning physics.
Thanks!
