Have you ever wondered why the language of modern physics centres on geometry? Or how quantum operators and Dirac brackets work? What tensors are all about? Or what field theory and lagrangians are, and why gravity is described as curvature? This book takes you on a tour of the main ideas forming the language of modern mathematical physics.
