- Zusatztext
- The outcome of a close collaboration between mathematicians and mathematical physicists, these lecture notes present the foundations of A. Connes noncommutative geometry as well as its applications in particular to the field of theoretical particle physics. The coherent and systematic approach makes this book useful for experienced researchers and postgraduate students alike.
