Edinburgh Lectures on Geometry, Analysis and Physics
by Michael Atiyah
Publisher: arXiv 2010
Number of pages: 41
Description:
These lecture notes are based on a set of six lectures that I gave in Edinburgh in 2008/2009 and they cover some topics in the interface between Geometry and Physics. They involve some unsolved problems and conjectures and I hope they may stimulate readers to investigate them.

Geometry of Quantum Mechanicsby Ingemar Bengtsson - Stockholms universitet, Fysikum
These are the lecture notes from a graduate course in the geometry of quantum mechanics. The idea was to introduce the mathematics in its own right, but not to introduce anything that is not directly relevant to the subject.
