Adam Marsh's "Mathematics for Physics" is available online, with Subodh Patil highlighting the algebraic topology section as a valuable resource, particularly as a primer to Nakahara's work. The discussion critiques the book's title, arguing it is misleading as it primarily focuses on geometry and topology rather than classical mechanics or quantum field theory. Key applications of algebraic topology in physics include topological defects, Yang-Mills gauge theory, and string theory, emphasizing the necessity of these mathematical concepts in understanding physical phenomena.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, mathematicians, and students interested in the intersection of mathematics and physics, particularly those focusing on algebraic topology, gauge theories, and advanced quantum mechanics.
