The course shall give an introduction in the basic concepts of differential geometry like fibre bundles, parallel transport, metric, connection, geodesic transport, interior and exterior curvature. Thereby a brief outlook to discrete differential geometry on lattices is given since the unified concepts apply to those systems as well. All concepts presented will be illustrated by examples from general relativity, non-Abelian field theory, quantum mechanics and hydrodynamics to establish an understanding of the relationships and links between these different theories in physics.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
