I will be infinitely grateful to the one who could give a thorough introduction with examples on fiber bundles or a link to a document that deals with it. I was desperately looking on the web for something interesting but I either find 200 pages notes or a poor paragraphe.

Again thank you for being always kind and helpful :)

    I'd start with trying to understand the [tangent bundle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_bundle) and the [Hopf fibration](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopf_fibration) thoroughly. These are two good examples that show many of the inherent intricacies. Then I think good place to look at is the book by Bott and Tu on differential forms in algebraic topology. One of the standard references on fibre bundles is Husemöller's book.2011-05-18

    The section on fibre bundles in Hatcher's *Algebraic Topology* is a very good introduction (p375-384), and his Vector Bundles book is fab too (the first chapter, which goes up to classification, is about 35 pages long, but it's a very easy read). You can find both books available free online on Hatcher's website. For more depth, Husemöller (mentioned above by Theo) is excellent.2011-05-18

    Steenrod's Topology of Fiber Bundles is a classic that will get your hands dirty.2011-11-23
