Overview

This book gives an introduction to modern geometry. Starting from an elementary level, the author develops deep geometrical concepts that play an important role in contemporary theoretical physics, presenting various techniques and viewpoints along the way. This second edition contains two additional, more advanced geometric techniques: the modern language and modern view of Algebraic Geometry and Mirror Symmetry.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: <p> As the title suggests, this book is an introduction to Riemann surfaces, with the target audience being students of string theory. a ] an excellent book to use to become familiar with these concepts, and as a result the book is able to touch on a wide variety of concepts which are not broached by more traditional treatments of the subject. a ] I would certainly recommend the book for anyone who wants an enjoyable conceptual introduction to what can be a highly technical subject. (Mark Gross, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 k)
