Topology and Physics: A Historical Essayby C. Nash - arXiv
In this essay we wish to embark on the telling of a story which, almost certainly, stands only at its beginning. We shall discuss the links and the interaction between one very old subject, physics, and a much newer one, topology.

Lecture Notes on Seiberg-Witten Invariantsby John Douglas Moore - Springer
A streamlined introduction to the theory of Seiberg-Witten invariants suitable for second-year graduate students. These invariants can be used to prove that there are many compact topological four-manifolds which have more than one smooth structure.

Optimization Algorithms on Matrix Manifoldsby P.-A. Absil, R. Mahony, R. Sepulchre - Princeton University Press
Many science and engineering problems can be rephrased as optimization problems on matrix search spaces endowed with a manifold structure. This book shows how to exploit the structure of such problems to develop efficient numerical algorithms.
