This list of books provides the most direct and rigorous route to understanding differential geometry. Each selection thoroughly addresses its subject matter. The list does not need to be read linearly or only one book at a time. It is encouraged to go between books and read several at a time to acquire the necessary language and understand the motivations for each idea. | This list of books provides the most direct and rigorous route to understanding differential geometry, the mathematical language of modern physics.
