ReviewsThe book is the kind of mixed reference work and textbook that is most useful to the independent reader. ...These (parts I and II) books will come to be regarded as classics. Physics Today The book is very clear and well written. It should prove useful for graduate students and researchers in applications of differential geometry and distribution theory to physics and related fields. Zentralblatt fÜr Mathematik ... the book will be a most welcome addition to this exciting area of research and exposition. Mathematical Reviews
