This introductory graduate level text provides a relatively quick
path to a special topic in classical differential geometry:
principal bundles. While the topic of principal bundles in
differential geometry has become classic, even standard, material
in the modern graduate mathematics curriculum, the unique
approach taken in this text presents the material in a way that
is intuitive for both students of mathematics and of physics. The
goal of this book is to present important, modern geometric ideas
in a form readily accessible to students and researchers in both
the physics and mathematics communities, providing each with an
understanding and appreciation of the language and ideas of the
other.
