β¦ Synopsis
Some geometric aspects of classical field theory are presented and topologically non-trivial field configurations are introduced and discussed from this point of view. The Spinor Index Theorem is proven in a way which permits at the same time a discussion of first-order quantum corrections, in particular the axial-current anomaly.

The book describes Maxwell's equations first in their integral, directly testable form, then moves on to their local formulation. The first two chapters cover all essential properties of Maxwell's equations, including their symmetries and their covariance in a modern notation. Chapter 3 is devoted t
