Abstract

The chapter will illustrate how concepts in differential geometry arise

naturally in different areas of mathematical physics. We will describe

manifolds, fibre bundles, (co)tangent bundles, metrics and symplectic

structures, and their applications to Lagrangian mechanics, field theory

and Hamiltonian systems, including various examples related to inte-

grable systems and topological solitons.
