Varadarajan (University of California-Los Angeles) presents foundations of supersymmetry, beginning with a brief introduction to the physical foundations of the theory, especially the classification of relativistic particles and their wave equations, then continuing with the development of the theory of supermanifolds. A special feature of the book

Supersymmetry has been studied by theoretical physicists since the early 1970s. Nowadays, because of its novelty and significance--in both mathematics and physics--the issues it raises attract the interest of mathematicians. Written by the well-known math
