Differentiable manifolds by

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the book "Differentiable Manifolds: A Theoretical Physics Approach" by Gerardo F. Torres del Castillo, with participants expressing interest in its relevance for understanding General Relativity (GR). The title suggests it could be a valuable resource for background material in this field. However, there is a lack of detailed opinions or reviews from those familiar with the book. The original poster is seeking further insights or conclusions about the book's content and its applicability to GR, indicating a desire for more engagement on the topic.

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
