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.
