This book provides an introduction to the geometrical and topological methods that have become essential tools for soft condensed matter physicists. The emphasis is on providing mathematical tools in clear but precise language, focusing on fundamental concepts using real examples to illustrate for readers in vivid, three-dimensional fashion. The motivation is clearly provided using problems from soft condensed matter, from the packing of colloids to liquid crystals and thermal fluctuations of lipid membranes.
