Beschreibung
Natural operators and natural operations are an area of differential geometry that relates closely to problems in theoretical physics. So far there has been no book on the subject. This one therefore fills the gap and collects in an unified presentation the otherwise scattered material on the subject; it also includes a very comprehensive bibliography and will certainly be the standard reference for the next few years.
