String theory from a mathematical point of view

Question

I have a great interest in the area of string theory, but since I am more focused on mathematics, I was wondering if there is any book out there that covers mathematical aspects of string theory. I did some research and found some resources, at these notes: http://www.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/~rehmann/ECM/cdrom/3ecm/pdfs/pant3/dijkgr.pdf and at the website http://superstringtheory.com/math/math2.html. Is there any book that covers string theory in more of a mathematical aspect?

Pretty much the same question is discussed at MathOverflow: mathoverflow.net/q/71909 and also at math.SE math.stackexchange.com/q/37260

Answer 1

The book that described the superstring theory was written by Brian Greene in 1999. It is named "The Elegant Universe". You can buy this book on amazon, or you can ask Brian Greene (google its name) to send you a free copy (ebook). He is a very smart professor and you can find the mathematical aspects of the superstring theory in his book.
