This reference book, which has found wide use as a text, provides
an answer to the needs of graduate physical mathematics students
and their teachers. The present edition is a thorough revision of
the first, including a new chapter entitled ``Connections on
Principle Fibre Bundles'' which includes sections on holonomy,
characteristic classes, invariant curvature integrals and problems
on the geometry of gauge fields, monopoles, instantons, spin
structure and spin connections. Many paragraphs have been
rewritten, and examples and exercises added to ease the study of
several chapters. The index includes over 130 entries.
